Cornish regional website

Here is a site supporting a Cornish parliament within or without England. I support a parliament for England, even though I am Scottish-Welsh, and the European Union, so will also support Cornish devolution.

A nation that has little to be ashamed about and survives today.

BC Cornish language forms, pre-written history, very realted to Welsh, and Brythonic, only disunited by regional variations, in this tongue .

AD 63, in Cornish legend Joseph of Arimathea, built a church here, and traded with Cornish tin miners, he can be tracedthrough Europe, on his way here, and he is said to jhave landed by some in Saint Micheal's Mount, then sailed to Brittany. Allot of evidence states that 1st Centiry Jewish Christians may have invested in the Cornish tin trade, a trade that had existed for before the Roman Occupation. With in some versions of history, Cornish tin traded to Iberian states mentioned in the Bible, and Phoenician traders.

AD 400, Roman occupation of Cornwall, England, Wales, and Southern Scotland, ends,

Some ancient Britons,used Anglo-Saxon mercanaries, who became leaders of E-England, then either brought in colonists, or tookover, and over time, took, the Briton, speaking areas of England, of that Roman-Briton, mixed with old Brythonic.Overtim,e these Anglo-Saxon states, expaned and took all modern eastern, England, in large expansions. Anyway by the mid sixth C, they held loads of what is today England. And only some Celtic states remained, dotted about England, but loads, in Cornwall, Scotland, and Wales. All of these states were not united, neither was England, and the leaders, of them used feudal oppression over their people. All the Celtic statelets of today were larger than today, but were not states. The major hero in stopping the Anglo-Saxon advance was King Arthur, a guy who has loads of possibilities of who he was. He was either a king, or a mobile cavalry force stopping the advance. He may even have not existed, But whatever, the main myths about him, are that he lived in either some part of England, Scotland, Wales, or Cornwall's Tintagel. Cornwall was forming in soem ways to a nation, or unit of terms, In ad 734 the Cornish peoples spread from Land's End, to 21st Century Somerset and Wiltshire. Cornwall would have become seperated from Wales, in 577, after a battle

But in 814, shrinks after annexations, in a era, fo war and borders shifting across Europe.

In 886 Danish influence increases in this land.

Still Cornwall, and South Wales, were trading allot with Europe, as as much with England, in with massive trading to Latin areas. Just like the pre-Roman, era, with them, in those days, still having sea trade as quick as land trade so lots opf trade betweebn coasts and across Europe.

In 930,. a Saxon King, finally made Cornwall have to surrender it's independence to England,.

In 1066, Cornwall, saw rulers who integrated the land more into England,

In 1086 it became a earldom, tobecome strongly led.

The language survived there were 39,000 speakers, of this still Welsh and Breton related tongue in the 13th Century.

1337 English king creates Duchy of Cornwall, after oppressing it, they decide to make this, as a source of income for their successors, the only duchy in England, but the Cornish tongue and language are still oppressed by these leaders.

1497 Cornish uprising, notable for it's size, and historical content, 10,000 men, all Cornish join aWarbeck, a pretender for the English throne, in a revolt against a unfair new tax, by the English king, that would reduce many Cornish to poverty, this was a massive percentage of the people, of Cornwall, who marched all the way to London, 500 years after being conqurred by the English, most Cornish were not English speaking at this time. 200 Cornish rebels died just outside London in battle, 30,000 people from the West Countrty also joined, them, with a few hung afterwards.

In 1549, many Cornish joined the Ctaholic revolt against Protestant imposistion, of across South Wesdt England, many Cornish joined as they were opposing the English language being puished on them, by the acts. 30 Cornish people were executed in 1548, for oppising Protestant advances here, and murdering some imposers, of wrecing Catholic churches.

Then on went what some people call the Cornish Holocaust, what occurred was English, German French and otehr soldiers, including mercenaries, comitted massacres, which killed 10% of the male population of Cornwall in massacres, 2100-4000 people. With many kileld who were Cornish, and English form Devon. Cornish still survived as a toune in small parts of Devon after this time. Some state 20% of the Cornish population died as of the effects of this invasion.

Cornwall, sadly supported the Royalist sides, that ghad massacred so many ofthem in the 1540s,. ,in the 1640s, as of Royal propaganda, but the Cornish people would have supported parlaiment in a democracy, in the English Civil war, but the Parlaiment's victory helped invigorate the tin trade, givinbg the tin miners more rights and freedom, so they boomed,

The l;anguage continued to decline in popularity as had occurred since the 14thCentury.
