Who holds it

Where the sources disagree
Evidence: The campaign board entry and recollection; no province-level source for 1200 was reachable.
"The campaign board" is OMNIA's working map. These notes record where its earlier claims were checked against the sources.
On the map: Drawn as the old province from the modern units round the places named; the borders follow the units, not the 8th-century boundaries.
