Peridan being a Lone Islander, never thought of that. It seems more likely that humans emigrated to Narnia after Jadis died.

Sure, but Lone Islands was not "Narnia" before the time of King Peter. Or if it had been, it had to be reconquered.

"The Lone Islands were originally settled by the descendants of King Frank I and Queen Helen during the Age of Conquest. In the early fourth century, a dragon began to terrorize the inhabitants. King Gale of Narnia, ninth in descent from Frank I, delivered the islands by slaying the dragon in 302. In return, the grateful islanders made him their emperor. Gale appointed a governor of the islands to be his representative. The islands remained under Narnian rule through the reign of Jadis (whose titles included Empress of the Lone Islands), and they may have experienced her endless winter like Narnia." (Source: WikiNarnia)

I thought they had not, and I confused King Peter with King Gale apparently.

I wouldn't hold wikiNarnia as a reliable source.

There's not a great deal that anyone knows about the Lone Islands. Even the characters seem not to know much at all.

' "I've never understood why they belong to Narnia," said Caspian. "Did Peter the High King conquer them?"
"Oh, no," said Edmund. "They were Narnian before our time--in the days of the White Witch."
(By the way, I have never yet heard how these remote islands became attached to the crown of Narnia; if I ever do, and if the story is at all interesting, I may put it in some other book.) '
VODT, Chapter 3

(I would include the bit that mentions King Gale, but my mind went blank and I can't even remember which book the reference is in. :roll: )

It's in LB, when Jewel is telling Jill about the history of Narnia, right?
