• The History of Cornwal...
See the important events in the history of Cornwall from ancient times to the present day.
Sorry about only 480p, CZcams decides not to play my video at 720p+. For these reasons fullscreen is not recommended on desktop.
Frame count: 527 (400+ spent on rebellions)
Hope you like the ultra smooth animation!
Mistakes:
King Centwine of Wessex was reported to have driven the Cornish as far as north eastern modern Cornwall although this is disputed since history records are scarce before the late medieval period.
Also I used no historical basis for territorial gains in the 1069 rebellion, other than the rebel forces tried to take Exeter but were driven back.
greetings from Germany. We just visited Cornwall and had a spectular and fantasic time in St. Ives mostly, but other places, too. We loved it, seriously, it is such a beautiful spot on this earth!
Proud to say that my Pap is the head of the Cornish Stannary Parliament. I've always been taught by him that I am not English, and nor will I ever will be. It's sad that so few Cornish people know their own heritage and culture. I really hope that one day the Cornish will be granted independence from England and be allowed to govern themselves. We existed long before England was even a word, through the ages we have traded with many nations, from the Polynesians to the Romans. We pioneered the mining industry from which the entire world now relies upon. I am proud to be Cornish, and will never call myself English.
Same here!
I have lived in west Devon on the moors my whole life but spent a big chunk down in Cornwall, my family is all from Cornwall and Devon and seeing the real Cornish people like us leave due to the closing of major industries and tourists and second homeowners taking the houses away saddens me. I hope the government does something and cracks down on the second homeowners ruining cornwall for the actual locals
Cernyw am byth
I’m not Cornish but I support your cause, us Celtic brothers must stand United!
🇮🇪❤️🏴❤️🏴❤️🇮🇲❤️Kernow
Excellent! The Cornish must work hard to reclaim their heritage and cultural identity.
I for one, am trying.. all the way over here in Australia, for myself, my kids! ..siblings, other descendants of my Maternal Ancestors!! Who immigrated directly to Christchurch, New Zealand.. too, then came to Australia a few (4?) generations later and stayed.. My maternal Grandad did as he met my Nanna here.
My Paternal ancestry is over 65% of 1/2..(my dad's DNA breakdown) IRISH (Munster) 10% Nth Ireland (Ulster) 8% English and 5% Western Europe.. & 2% Swedish.
My *MATERNAL ANCESTRY on the other hand.. (mum's, is 1/2 Kiwi.. New Zealand & 1/2 Australian).. but both being only a few hundred yrs 'colonised' .. it breaks down to roughly 70% Cornish & 20% 'English' & 10% Welsh.
Add them together & you get ME! 😊 loool. WELL, my 'ancestry' anyway.
I haven't had mine actually done (yet??) As my Dad had his DNA tested, & I'm getting my brother to hopefully!! (& son) to do their's for a more complete overview, having the Y (male) haplogroup testing as well as the Mitochondrial DNA, via my brother's X, etc..
so mine should be (you'd think) the same results as my brother's, just without the Y testing, obviously.
*I often wonder now, if it WOULD be the same.. IN THIS CASE OF 'country'/language/etc - DNA.. yes, but WE ALL HAVE UNIQUE DNA & like our Dad, my Brother & Sister had Dark brown hair, dark brown eyes & were more olive in skin tone- COMPARED to alabaster white skinned, red hair & green eyed MOI, so I wonder if we would get the same physical 'Parental Markers', regardless of how different we looked as babies & children- my hair was WHITE, then blonde, then strawberry blonde.. to eventually ginger/light auburn by pre-teens, etc. My brother's skin is fairer & burns now too, (we're in our early 40's) and he grew a ginger beard!! 😊 So I'm a bit confused as I study GENEALOGY as well as ancestry, but am not an expert yet, so I don't know if my brother's would be similar ENOUGH or ..NOT!?? to show we are siblings, and the *ANCESTRY 'BREAKDOWN' or if we'd have the same % breakdown for me to use as a more accurate representation, *HE, having the *Y haplogroup analysis, that being female, I can't.
**Anyone know, by any chance?
😊✌💫🐨
No matter what, at least I've understood my looks and LOVE of LANGUAGES & HISTORY & feel a 'calling to', & nostalgic feelings of *Irish!! & Scottish (Gaelic).. Welsh, & *Cornish. The music, the ancient land.. I'm simply fascinated to find out more & more about my ancestors!!
So, after N.Z.. I want to head to Ireland to live in the countryside in 'Munster' mainly Sth West & West! and keep having frequent trips back to England where I lived for 2-3 yrs in the late 80's, but KNEW NONE OF THIS THEN, so my travels there, I'll plan around old school friends, and 'my ancestors stomping grounds', etc.. for as long as I'm able.
That's the dream anyway. Hopefully one day it'll be reality and by then I HOPE to have shed light on the few gaps in written history, etc. Or find them!!
You know the English once had celtic culture before the saxons came
@@joemorris8576 "before the saxons came" ...there was no England right ? England was born out of the Anglo-Saxons. England is Anglo-Saxon. Before then, the land we know today as England, was made up of different celtic tribes = pre-England. So in other words, "You know the English once had celtic culture before the saxons came" - make no sense whatsoever.
I am Cornish, love Cornwall and all our brythonic cousins wherever they maybe. I live far away in Asia and many Cornish left 'ome over the centuries to find better prospects. Go to Australia, America and other countries where you can find Cornish descendents and communities. For onen hag ol. Kernow bys vyken.
Cornwall brother
If you live in Indonesia, Indonesia is not an Asian country.
@@hanggaraaryagunarencagutuh7072 lol. Go back to school mate. Indonesia isn't in Europe or the Americas is it? What continent did your school tell you Indonesia is part of? Go and ask for a refund.
@@timdyer5903 I know mine much better than you. Indonesia is a Nusantaran country, not an Asian country. Geographers classify it as a part of Northwest Oceania.
Northwest Oceania equals Nusantaran Archipelagos.
Instead, the ignorant occidental academicians need to be educated about why they misclassify almost the entire world.
I'm an Aussie with Cornish heritage. Good to know some history.
interesting. i 'm planning a week in Cornwall and i needed to know something about the history of thi area. and this video has been vey precious.
Cornwall is not England! Free Kernow!
i quite agree with you but ... how do you get every cornish adult out of his or her fucking bed on election day to cast a vote?????? could cornwall not have an assembly like the other four english colonies???
+Kevin Picton Cornish, Welsh and Breton are all Brythonic languages as before the Romans all of England was Brythonic, and of direct Celtic descent south of the Firth of Forth. The Picts were further north and may also have been a Brythonic language. The Romans did not assimilate it all, Romano-British cultures were only really present in much of England except Wales and Cornwall.
Kevin Picton the Gauls were exterminated by the romans and the franks (that gave French) so no they aren't
Kevin Picton my auntie runs a political party called "Wessex National Party" I think you are interested!

48 hour tour guide Cornwall
Christianity was in Cornwall from the beginning as testified by St Helens oratory at Cape Cornwall a roman era christian building and also historical anecdotal evidence.Also at 6.57 Cornwall was the only place the Armada managed to land in at Mousehole,killing the mayor and marching to a place called Paul where they burnt the church.later they were defeated by a local militia in the area of Penzance called the battlefield,where I grew up.
the St Helens chapel was built by early modern mine workers so they didn't have to stank all the way to St Just to pray before going down. there are no Roman structures in Cornwall, and no Christian building before the second millennium AD. anything depicting a cross is the Sun Cross, which only combined with the Christian Cross to indoctrinate the natives, and is also why many ancient sites have churches built on top of them, including castle Kenidjack, visible from the Helens Oratory.
I am a son of Cornwall. My great-great grandparents left for America in 1889 . . .
I’m part of a group that is trying to get Cornwall to be granted it’s own assembly, devolved parliament or even better its own independence again. Our group contains a fair few Cornish historians and as far as we have been able to research there are very few records of Cornwall ever being annexed into Wessex officially or ever even becoming part of England. However this video will be a great help in allowing us to do more research into Cornwall’s history as over the centuries England has altered a lot of it and a lot of historic documents stating Cornwall’s independence were lost during the British civil war.
Cornwall wouldn’t survive on its own
@@HaroldWilson67 so how does the Isle of Man and Andorra survive then?
Has Brexit taught you nothing? It's less borders the world needs, not more. Local Assemblies are fine, well distanced from the Dead Hand of Westminster
independence on the level of Scotland (or even becoming part of Scotland, instead of part of England) at least would go a long way to being properly recognised. actual full independence isn't feasible without first building a self-sustaining economy, not dependent on tourism. and independence will only be meaningful if there is disincentives for non-Cornish living in Cornwall to leave, and simultaneous encouragement for those with Cornish heritage living abroad to come back. no sense in becoming our own country when three quarters of the population are not Cornish.
@@HaroldWilson67 the fall of industrial society will make possible the great resurgence of the Celtic peoples
Brilliant and informative. Best wishes from one of your Anglo Saxon cousins from across the Tamar
As soon as the ice started retreating, about 10,000 BC, people moved over from the continent to the whole of the British Isles. These people were the original Ancient Britons, and no-one knows what language they spoke.
The Celts didn't arrive in Britain until about 400 BC, and they were only a small minority, but they brought their languages and culture to the Britons.
It's not accurate to refer to the Britons as Celts. They were only Celts by language.
True. A lot of West Britons don't fit the red haired blue eyed Celt stereotype. The Cornish were known for being dark haired, tanned, blue/brown eyed, until very recently. They were compared to Semitic people during the 1800's. But unfortunately a lot of that old Cornish type move to other parts of the world during the mining slump of the mid to late 1870's. Then the Anglos moved in. Tin Mahn/mahner became Tin Moyn/Moyner. Dark haired Cornish were called the result of Spanish rape, and son on. Sad times.
Nice, but just a small correction due to linguistic anachronism. A Cornish king would not have paid tribute to "Denmark", but a king. The sovereign states of today have little in common with the realms from a thousand years ago. The realms were ruled by kings and dynasties, not by its people through chosen representatives.
Also, Cnut the Great might have come from Denmark, but he ruled England as a separate realm, as he ruled Norway too. Denmark, Norway and England were not one kingdom under his rule. These were separate realms under the rule of the same king. It was a personal union, where the word "personal" is quite important. The three are sometimes referred to as a North Sea Empire, which it was, but it was the empire of a king from Denmark, not an empire of Denmark.
It might sound like an inconsequential detail, but I think it's not. People today often have a very skewed idea of the past, talking in terms of "when we ruled" this and that. I'm sure they (or rather their forefathers) ruled nothing at all. Most people were peasents who knew nothing about ruling. They were themselves ruled by the elites of the time. The national romanticism of the 19th century still causes confusion.
Amazing video... Really inspired me, maybe I will go back to mapping too...
also... KERNOW OF DANKE
The reading box goes to fast, I’m a good reader and I just can’t keep up with how fast I have to read before it moves to the next box. I couldn’t even focus on what was being said let alone the illustrations.
It's the Dirty Duchy that done Diana...Great video cheers for sharing..The Tin City is stirring from her sleep...Kernow Bys Vvyken! X
Wow, great job!
Because of Brexit...
2018: Cornwallian Empire
That would be nice. And maybe a reincarnation of King Arthur too.
Niet former Britannia is into Russia

We must help free the enslaved people of Cornwall hahahahaha
How can I get a cloth version of the crest with different words on it. Want to wear it on my motorcycle jacket! Words would be (top rocker) rag bones ow hernow, and (bottom rocker) rag bones ow threv. Thanks. If you don’t have cloth versions, may I use your art to have it made in Japan?
Nice Video!
I had no idea Cornwall resisted English rule well into the 1500s.
I'm from Redruth Cornwall but my family is Irish does that mean I'm Irish/Cornish?
the Eiresow are certainly welcome.

Real and approved by authentic cornish patriots
Kernow never has been and never will be English.
Sadly Tintagel wasn't built until the 1200s, by a Plantagenet duke.
Why not have audio so I can listen like normal utube.
Cool
And the rebellion parts look pretty good
Thank you, I spent lots of time on them!
***** Nerd
***** wow
***** ok
woah great video i have subbed :)
AyyubTheMapper 123 m,
Cornwall is definitely my favourite place in England.
I'm Cornish and a proud englishman. Cornwall is very much part of England.
@ A "wise" young man. "Wise" is debatable. I have read all your posts. I am Cornish and British and proud to be both. If you have the honour to live in Cornwall, you will be aware of the culture. Demanding proof realises the weakness of your argument. Not only was I born in Cornwall, as were my sons, but through my mother I can trace my lineage back to the Stanneries.
You are entitled to your view. Please do not make foolish and rhetorical comments about DNA! It reflects badly on your self-aggrandised "wise".
Have you had your DNA checked to prove you meet your own criteria for being Cornish?
Hamish Wallace CORNWALL NO ENGLANDO!
A_Wise_Young_Man traitor!
Er, yes it is. You can say it shouldn't be all you want, but it's in England.
So basically Devon & Cornwall were once one & the same.
Florentine 193 then watch the video
All Dumnonian Celtic, and genetically Devonians and Cornish are basically part of a distinct group, apart from the rest of the country. Devon means land of deep valleys (Dev-nant). If it weren't for Wessex, it still all would be. From Bodmin.
Music 🎶????
Romans-Dumnonia-Normandy-England. There you go, no need to watch video! jk, the detail of this is awesome!
Yes, contrary to what most think Cornwall has a much deeper history. Thanks also!
Also read the Bukkys
Ah. Cornwall
Never give up.
what's all this BCE crap !!! The dating we use has been and always will be BC and AD. Try as you will, you cannot airbrush Jesus of Nazareth out of world history ! So do't even try !!
Read Jowan-Chy-an-Horth
good effort but - erm what happened to Richard 1st earl of cornwall and emperor of the Romans? 1209-72 who became wealthy from the Tamar silver mines? he built the castle at tintagel

Who finds it funny that Cornwall has had so many revolts for independence
Hundreds of years ago, Cornwall was an entirely Celtic people, like Scotland and Wales. So it's not a surprise since all of the revolts sprung directly from English or French oppression. But since so many Cornish died fighting for their independence, the language and culture have declined massively. And Cornwall is not the only one: the Welsh, the Irish and the Scottish have all fought for their independence, but ultimately came under control of the English at some point or another. I think that Cornwall's status is unfairly represented as a "county" of England, and that we should be given a regional assembly at the least.
Why is it called CORNWALL?
@@jamesgoodwin2450 Corn means "horn" and wall means "foreigners" in Saxon/Old English.
@@jamesgoodwin2450 no worries, I should have elaborated. The horn is the shape of the peninsula. The Cornish called themselves the Cornovii before the Romans and Saxons came as well.
@@jamesgoodwin2450 yep
Err? Hmm? Thinks you need to research more and then update the video. 'Tis not accurate! Sorry to have to mention that, I know how you hold dearly your/our history.
Why the bce ?????????????? as soon as i see that i stop
The updated version that only uses BC and AD is in the video description. Please watch that one instead, this one is old.
If I wanted to read, I would not watch a video.
Free kernow
Fe godwn ni eto
Thumbs down for using BCE.
The thing i don't like about Cornwall is how up their own arse the natives, Cornwall hast really been independent for over 1000 years, you dont see people from Gloucestershire asking for independence because they were once the petty kingdom of Hwicce over 1000 years ago
Please tell me about a party campaigning for the independence of Gloucestershire of all counties because I've never heard of one. The difference between Cornwall and Gloucestershire is that the Cornish see us as a people somewhat apart from the English, and it is even recorded this way in medieval texts. As the kingdom of England was sometimes referred to as "England and Cornwall". Also the Cornish people and language (despite the language being kind of dead at this point) are recognised as minorities by the UK Government.
But I'm not saying that I want independence for Cornwall, because if we did we probably wouldn't be able to economically support ourselves, much like the situation an independent Wales would have to face.
exactly my point, the cornish people are so far up their own arse they have a sense of superiority just because some 600 year old texts refer to it as a separate entity.
Russian Empire but they aren't though are they.... you cannot trace their heritage through about 1500 years to prove they are full Cornish
HMBFarage , sound like your the only arse here mate, sour grapes for not being Cornish, it's cool I get it
no, not at all
Can't you use that language money for something else?
Why would a nation neglect its own language that’s like saying why don’t the French stop speaking French and start speaking German.
Rubbish........
Nice video!
