- username223 8y agoThanks. That sort of proves my point: when you have millenia of history, things are complicated.
- saool 8y agoWhile that is factually correct, the reference in the name of the autonomous community isn't to the city or the province, but to the Leon region [0], which expands to the south of the province, following old demarcations, and older language areas and finally the borders of the Kingdom of Leon [1].
