I've read different articles that say that on Henry VIII's coronation he was listed as king of various realms, with Cornwall and England listed separatly. Does anyone have a copy/scan of any document with this on? I'd like to see the source.

The Charter of Pardon which re-devolved Cornwall it's powers in 1507 was written two years before Henry VIII was on the throne.

Cornwall was widely accepted as a different nation back then, it was recognised just like Scotland and Ireland are recognised as seperate nations.

I think you won't be able to find it.
The English Government probably Burnt it or Hid it somewhere at some point in the last 500 years!

There are a few maps from the 16th Century which show Cornwall as a seperate Duchy.
I believe this map is an example:

You can probably find more here:

"Cornwall was widely accepted as a different nation back then, it was recognised just like Scotland and Ireland are recognised as seperate nations. "
Exactly, but why isnt it now? No political changes (eg, no annexation, no proper invasion), so what happened?

To be fair, that early map of Britain also shows Somerset and Devon, so it is not a brilliant example. I have seen better.

It's because of a series of pretty unfortunate events really, The prayer book was a major blow to the Cornish, then the English civil war, the Cornishmen sided with the king-Who lost, Cromwell did not take kindly to the Cornish getting involved, so...who knows what he did, no doubt it didn't promote Cornish culture. Then English becoming such a widely spoken language did not help, soon Cornish just...died down a bit...alot. The Cornish just forgot they were Cornish. Not all of course.
