Norich (c.1230)

 
  FEW: Gdf: GdfC: TL: DEAF: DMF: TLF: OED: MED: DMLBS:

This sense is rare in Anglo-Norman, as the word Norich usually refers to the city of Norwich. The context indicates that in this particular case the word refers to Noricum. It should be noted that the much more common sense ‘Norwich’ is not listed here, as names of cities are not normally included in the AND.
