[edit] Norse
- Norse for sand = sand
- Norse for bay = vik
- Norse for grove = lund (sacret grove for offerings to the gods). Lunden = the (sacret) grove.
- Sandwich (Sandvik) = Sandy bay.
- Lundenwic (Lundenvik) = a bay by the Grove.

[edit] How can this be?
The article says: "In the year 1217 Hubert de Burgh King Henry III's justiciar compelled king Louis of France to agree to peace terms". [1] According to our List of French monarchs page, wasn't Philip II of France in power between 1180 to 1223? Is there a date issue here, or is this referring to the king-to-be Louis VIII of France who came into power half a decade later? Can't sleep, clown will eat me 09:55, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
- I've removed the paragraph in question above, as it appears the original contributor has been inactive for close to two years now. [2] Please feel free to revert me if a source can be provided. Can't sleep, clown will eat me 11:41, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
