Witland

Witland is a seldom-used name for a historical region in the south-east Baltic region inhabited by Prussians (Aestii), called Estum in the text of Wulfstan.

The name appears in King Alfred's adapted version of Orosius, in which the traveller Wulfstan's accounts were incorporated.

"[1] According to the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, in 1022, King Canute set sail for Isle of Wight (Old English: Wiht/Wihtlande).
