Hello Me again
 
This sort of thing is my subject really as my background is history and  
archaeology ....so....
 
I've looked at this and am wary of assigning meaning to places without a  
historical context.
 
Can you tell me where the  Blood Bay was/is.
 
I've undertaken research for authors and always use archives and  historical 
material to make sure I'm accurate.
 
There's a Bloody Bay off the coast off Mull. So called because of it's  
associaon with a battle, but much later date.
 
The connection with blood may mean nothing more than 'blood' was spilt ie  in 
battle and need no more translation than that.
 
If you  refer to texts such as this one from University College Cork  
_http://www.ucc.ie/chronicon/ocorr2.htm_ (http://www.ucc.ie/chronicon/ocorr2.htm)  
you'll  see some of the complexities of translation .
 
Do you know which historical sources are being used for the novel and  which 
the researcher is using?
 
 
 
Still thinking and hope this helps a bit
 
Kind Regards
 
Gill
