They are "now believed to have been [in] the area around Narragansett Bay,
|
||||||
|
Rhode Island,"[@KirsNor98, 39] far distant from where Norumbega would
|
||||||
|
eventually be described. However, due to geographical ambiguity at the time,
|
||||||
|
Verrazzano's *Refugio* nevertheless became "at the heart of the Norumbega
|
||||||
|
legend."[@KirsNor98, 39] Five years later, Giovanni's brother Girolamo marked a
|
||||||
|
"small inlet labelled *oranbega.*"[@KirsNor98, 35] Around fifteen years after
|
||||||
|
that, Jean Alafonce, sailing up a river we know now to have been the Penobscot,
|
||||||
|
described a city called *Norombegue*.[@KirsNor98, 40-41] Just as with
|
||||||
|
Varrazzano's *Refugio*, Alafonce described "clever inhabitants [...] The people
|
||||||
|
used many words which sound like Latin and worship the sun, and they are fair
|
||||||
|
people and tall."[@KirsNor98, 41] Over time, these similar stories of civilized
|
||||||
|
natives and a river combined to form the basis for the myth of
|
||||||
|
Norumbega.[@KirsNor98, 41]
