Historical England (6)

I believe the answer is:

albion

(Other definitions for albion that I've seen before include "Poetic Britain, sometimes perfidious" , "Old name for England, perhaps perfidious" , "No bail for old England" , "Brighton & Hove, West Bromwich or Burton FC" , "country" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
