		Estotiland is only shown in part, and in Dr. Dee’s time it was identified as Nova Scotia.
		The fisherman from Frislanda were eventually sent south by the king to a country called Drogio (probably the Massachusetts Bay Area), but were blown off course and captured and eaten by cannibals.
		To the south-west of Estotiland were cities full of temples, whose builders had knowledge of gold and silver working (probably the Aztecs of Mexico).

	The Davistown Museum
		This country; "Estotiland," was very fertile, and had mountains in the interior.
		On this map we are only interested in the countries "Estotiland" and "Drogeo" or "Droceo." The word "Estotiland" has excited the historians for several centuries, and so far has not been explained satisfactorily.
		Probably we should also be able to prove that "Estotiland" was a common or fisherman's term applied to stockfish grounds which was later called "baccalao." In a Spanish dictionary today there is a commercial name for stockfish, which is not dissimilar, in estocafis.

	Cabinet Magazine Online - Confections of Zeno
		Here the fisherman found the king’s library stocked with books in Latin—evidence of some earlier European contact—and heard tell of more civilized peoples, of cities and great wealth lying to the south, seemingly a reference to the settled tribes of North America or perhaps Mexico.
		Indeed in 1898, the British geographer Frederick Lucas wrote a meticulous, schoolmasterish demolition of Zeno’s account, in which he observed that the antedating of the map could be seen as an indirect claim for the discovery of America by a Venetian—scoring a point or two against rival Genoa, Columbus’s city of origin.
		The admission which should unravel the whole story—and with it the claims to existence of Frisland, Drogeo, Icaria, Estotiland, Porlanda, Neome—is curiously moving in its contrition and contradictoriness.

	Memprhemagog
		It is at least a plausible suggestion that Henry Sinclair, a known patron of the Knights Templar, crossed the Atlantic to find a secure haven from the Inquisition for the descendants and dependents of these excommunicated knights.
		And, of course, it is an intriguing speculation whether or not some of the Templar treasure, as well as alleged descendants of the Holy Blood, may have been taken across the Atlantic along with refugee Templar descendants as guardians.
		A populous colony would inevitably have explored its new territory, and there is some evidence that pre-Columbian Europeans penetrated inland along the St. John and Connecticut Rivers in the two centuries before Cabot's supposed voyage in 1497.

		He had no reason to be sure there wasn’t a place where freedom and “true spirituality” could coexist.
		The letters of Antonio Zeno contain today’s Zeno Narrative---an increasingly respected account of a voyage, in 1398-99, to “Estotiland,” “Novia Scotia” and the Northeast by him and Nicolo in the company of 12 ships (200-300 men) and Prince Henry Sinclair himself.
		Zeno’s letters---their geography, the confirmed American landmarks that they name, and the physical objects discovered through their study on both sides of the Atlantic---continue to stand the tests of time and scrutiny.

		While both Frislant and Estotiland appear in Mercator's 1569 map, this is the first map to focus specifically on these locations; Frisland itself is remarkably detailed, with eleven settlements clearly marked.

	ENGROELÂNDIA, ESTOTILÂNDIA E ICÁRIA
		Uma outra explicação sugere o emprego das primeiras três sílabas da frase "esto fidelis usque ad mortem", resultando "Estofi" a que se acrescentaria "land", mas mais uma vez fica por explicar o uso de palavras inglesas.
		Talvez "Estotiland" como uma derivação de "Escociland" (Escócia) seja uma melhor hipótese.
		Existe uma outra hipótese, também ela bastante forte, a de que "Estotiland" seja uma modificação a partir de "Estilanda" ou "Esthlanda", uma denominação por vezes atribuída às ilhas Shetland, por exemplo no mapa de Prunes, de 1553.

	Mythical Geography: Frisland and other Zeno mythical islands
		They were supposed to have sailed extensively in these relatively unknown waters, including to the new lands of Frisland, Icaria, Estotiland, and Drogio, the latter two of which were associated with the American continent.
		In the map, Frisland and Icaria are islands near Greenland, Estotiland is part of the North American continent, and Drogio is a large island nearby, perhaps Nova Scotia.
		It is now generally thought that this volume was a complete fabrication, but it was widely accepted as true when first issued.

	Re: Ang: Estotiland
		I do not know whether Zeno was the first person to use the word "Estotiland" to describe the land (now known as Nova Scotia) but the name persists in subsequent maps, notably that of DeVirga (1414) Claudius Clavius (1424) and was still being used by Resen (1605).
		But back to "Estotiiland": Andrew Sinclair suggests that "Estotiland" may be a corruption of "East Scotland" where Henry Sinclair had his Scottish Estates but I prefer Erling's suggestion.
		Greenland was, of course, the exception and was said to be part of the ruse to attract settlers there.

		The author of the work, a relative of the Zonos, also helped create the Ptolemaical map that showed the islands of Frisland, Estotiland, Icaria, and Drogeo.
		Nicholas then began to explore the northern ocean, and in the north he found Engroneland (Greenland.) Nicholas died in 1396, and his brother Antonio took his position as Admiral.
		Antonio reported in a letter that an old fisherman had told him a story about being blown out 1000 miles into the Atlantic to Estotiland, where he stayed for 5 years before traveling south to Drogeo, which was inhabited by cannibals.

		Lying to the south of Iceland is the fictitious island of Frislant complete with a number of cities and towns.

	SONAHHR: Society of North American Hockey Historians and Researchers
		In 1961, the historian Frederick J. Pohl in his book Atlantic Crossings Before Columbus convincingly argued that Glooscap was indeed Earl Henry Sinclair.
		As described in the Zeno Narrative, Sinclair decided to embark on a westward journey after being intrigued by Antonio Zeno's tale of a fisherman who had been blown westward 26 years earlier to an incredible and very fertile land called Estotiland.
		The account states that in c.1398 AD an expedition of 13 ships, manned by Knight Templars, and armed with the latest in cannonry, sailed west in hopes of discovering the territory and to lay claim to the region in the name of the Norwegian monarchy.

	Travels in America and Italy by viscount de Chateaubriand, Volume 1 : a machine-readable transcription.
		Some fishermen of Friesland, says the narrative, being cast on Estotiland, found there a well built and very populous town; in this town there was a king and an interpreter who spoke Latin.
		The shipwrecked Frieslanders were sent by the king of Estotiland to a country lying to the south, which country was called Droceo, where they were devoured by cannibals, one alone excepted.
		Estotiland could scarcely be any other than the ancient Winland of the Norwegians; this Winland must be Newfoundland.

	Cartographical Curiosities
		In 1558, the Venetian Nicolo (the Younger) Zeno claimed to have discovered a 14th century manuscript recording a voyage made by his ancestors Nicolo and Antonio.
		According to the text, in the year 1380 a terrible storm swept the Zenos into unknown seas where they found a group of inhabited and hitherto unknown islands named Frisland, Estotiland, Icaria, and Drogeo.
		The description of Frisland created a geographical confusion to which numerous contemporary and later cartographers fell victim.
