On Safari Start Page on Mac, shows many tabs open on iPad Safari. But they are old pages long since closed. I close the tabs on the Mac, but they reappear. I've had this happen before for a few pages, but never for pages that go back months ago.
Any suggestions?

Thank for the suggestion. I tried something else in the meanwhile that worked, but good to know about this if the problem recurs.
I'd previously tried a suggestion here of logging out of iCloud on the devices, and then logging back in. After a few tries, it worked inconsistently.
This time I happened to run into another suggestion while I was searching. On each device (i.e., Mac and iPad), go to
Apple ID > iCloud and toggle off Safari.
Leave it in that state overnight on the guess that some cycling through happens. Next morning toggle Safari back on. All old links gone.

Restart. Restart fixes many small irksome problems
then:
In the Menu ... History > Clear History > All History.
In the Menu ... Safari > Preferences > General > Remove History Items > choose which you want.
