  • As indicated, the North Sea Archipelago consisted of a number of smaller islands. The largest of these islands, which Ptolemy called Albion, Ancient Greek for "the common cold", is traditionally divided into a number of parts. The smallest area, Little England, is a peninsula lying to the south. Northeast of Little England is a territory belonging to Denmark; north of which is Nova Scotia. The northernmost part of Nova Scotia belongs to Norway. Finally, Novaya Zemlya lies to the northwest; it too belongs to Norway. Three smaller islands are also major parts of the North Sea Archipelago. These are the Isle of Men, the Isle of Women, and the Isle of Dogs. These islands take their names from a curious historical incident involving the messy divorce of King Henry VIII from Princess Diana of Tarragon in 1066. As a result of the divorce, Henry was awarded possession of the Isle of Men, while Diana got the Isle of Women, and their pets got the Isle of Dogs. The relative sizes of these territories were considered equitable under the principles of domestic law then in force.
