King Doniert's Stone Bodmin Moor, does anyone know anything about the king that the stone commemorates? @beauty_cornwall @ESDale77 @caitlinrgreen @CornwallMagical #cornwall #celticpic.twitter.com/GbOzAqDDi3
A Cornish king who drowned in the late 9th century, according to the 10th-century Annales Cambriae :) See for example http://www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places/king-donierts-stone/history/ … Text in Annales Cambriae MS A: 'Dungarth rex cerniu . mersus est .'
Thank You! Was Cornwall a separate kingdom to Wessex?
By this point it was probably an under-kingdom subject to the king of Wessex; a good discussion here, fwiw :)https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=azpoAgAAQBAJ&lpg=PA431&pg=PA431#v=onepage&q&f=false …
Thanks again! Does the Cornish sense of having a separate identity date to this period?
It's a plausible reading in many ways, potentially; certainly, Devon bit of Dumnonia is taken into Wessex in 8thC & thoroughly anglicised (e.g. place-names, language, church dedications), whereas Cornwall remained distinct for another century & retained language, many PNs etc :)
That's fascinating! Is there evidence that Devon names changed during that period from a Celtic form to an Anglo-Saxon form?
Solid documentary evidence is limited, especially before 11thC, but what we have points to a significant Old English component to major and minor/local Devon names by 10thC with new OE names present in 9thC too, albeit with place-name instability etc.
Thanks! One of the things I most love about your tweets is how they show how interconnected the ancient world was.
