The Kingdom of Cornwall or Kernow existed during the sub-Roman and Early Middle Ages in Great Britain's south-western peninsula.
Its name seems to derive from a Brythonic tribe called the Cornovii, whose existence is implied from the place-name Durocornavium (see Dumnonii) recorded in the Roman Ravenna Cosmography.
Kernow is the Cornish language name of Cornwall to this day, with cognates in Welsh Cernyw and Breton Kernev. (Kernev is also the Breton form of the region of Brittany known in French as Cornouaille.) Its Latin name is Cornubia, but it was known to the Anglo-Saxons of neighbouring Wessex as the kingdom of the West Welsh, later as Cornwall.
Cornwall seems to have originally been part of the greater kingdom of Dumnonia, although tradition seems to indicate that it had its own monarchs at times and may have been one of a number of sub-kingdoms. However, some historians, such as Peter Berresford Ellis, believe it was always independent of Dumnonia, perhaps as early as the time of Gildas (c. 545)[1]. This was certainly the case after the majority of the latter kingdom fell under Anglo-Saxon control in the 8th century.
Cornwall had remained largely un-Romanized and settlements continued in use into the post-Roman period. It is suggested that the kings were itinerant, stopping at various palaces, such as Tintagel, at different times of the year. Lesser lords built defended 'rounds' like Kelly Rounds and Castle Dore.
Cornwall may have reverted to paganism after the Roman departure from Britain, or perhaps Christianity never reached these far-flung parts of the Empire. In the 5th and 6th centuries, however, the area was evangelized by the children of Brychan Brycheiniog and saints from Ireland. There was an important monastery at Bodmin and sporadically, Cornish bishops are named in various records until they submitted to the See of Canterbury in the mid-9th century. Cornish monarchs are recorded in a number of Old Welsh documents and Saints' Lives as well as in local and Arthurian tradition:
King Mark – of Tristan and Iseult fame, probably ruled in the late 5th century. According to Cornish folklore, he held court at Tintagel.
King Salomon – father of Saint Cybi, probably ruled after Mark.
Dungarth – was recorded by the Annales Cambriae as having drowned in 876. The Annales refer to him as "rex Cerniu", King of Cornwall.
Since the 19th century, there has been controversy concerning a certain Huwal, "King of the West Welsh". This character only appears in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle entry for 927, accepting King Athelstan of Wessex as his overlord. 'West Wales' was an old term for Dumnonia or Cornwall, but may also refer to present day West Wales, then generally known as Deheubarth, where Hywel Dda was king, although in 927 Hywel Dda signed a founding charter in Exeter, as part of his life long reconciliation with Lloegr. These charters signed by Hywel as king of the whole of Wales for a short time are listed by Emanuel College Cambridge in their ancient archive of manuscripts. Other 'kings', such as Ricatus, mentioned on memorial stones may have ruled more localised regions.
An early 17th century pedigree of a so-called 'Earl of Cornwall' in the Book of Baglan may possibly also represent a list of rulers in Cornwall
According to William of Worcester, writing in the 15th century, Cadoc, described as the last survivor of the Cornish royal line at the time of the Norman Conquest in 1066, was appointed Earl of Cornwall by William I of England.
Lying in the extreme west of Britain, Cornwall was protected from Anglo-Saxon land invasions until 814 when King Egbert of Wessex subdued parts of Devon that were until then part of Cornwall. Clashes continued throughout the early 9th century and by the 880s Wessex had gained control of at least part of Cornwall, where Alfred the Great had estates. William of Malmesbury, writing around 1120, says that King Athelstan of England (924–939) fixed Cornwall's eastern boundary at the Tamar. The chronology of English expansion into Cornwall is unclear, but it had been absorbed into England by the reign of Edward the Confessor (1042–1066). Cornwall showed a very different type of settlement pattern to that of Saxon Wessex and places continued (even after 1066) to be named in the Celtic Cornish tradition with Saxon architecture being uncommon in Cornwall. The earliest record for any Anglo Saxon place names west of the Tamar is around 1040

Sorry if the translations are dodgy TEL, it was written by someone on Wikipedia, so perhaps their Cornish isn't amazing. Better than mine anyhow lol.
