Talk:List of legendary rulers of Cornwall

Proposed merger with Kingdom of Cornwall
I propose that the two articles be merged. Please discuss at Talk:Kingdom of Cornwall. Ghmyrtle (talk) 11:27, 25 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Oppose - This article is about legendary history and should not be merged with the Kingdom of Cornwall. Retsilla (talk) 02:08, 1st August 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - This is an offensive suggestion the article on the Kingdom and Kings of Cornwall references perfectly respectable and mostly accurate information and authorities on the history of Cornwall. There can be no doubt whatsoever as to the existence of a Kingdom covering Cornwall during the early to late Dark Ages as the existence to the present day of the inscribed King Doniert's Stone shows as well as Table Men in the West of Cornwall. This means to suggest a merger with a list from Geoffrey of Monmouth's non-contemporary tome is either ignorant in the extreme or a malevolent attempt to undermine a very important article on the history of Cornwall.Michaelangof (talk) 01:40, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Categorically opposed. The Legendary History of Dukes refers to the work of the medieval antiquaries who extolled the deeds of a litany of supposed "Dukes" that they cited as having ruled Cornwall, particularly in the period preceding the incorporation of Britain within the Roman Empire. The Histories of the Duke's of Cornwall are entwined with the other LEGENDS surrounding the genesis of "the Britons" in what would presumably have been the archaeological Iron Age. There is no evidence for any of these named persons existing other then the assertions of the medieval antiquaries who cited "lost" chronicles as the source of their information for events occurring a millennia and a half before the time of their writing. There were no writen records or inscriptions from this time period of these legendary Dukes and accordingly they are only legends. This is utterly different to the known HISTORY of Cornwall. After the end of the Roman period (410AD) there undoubtedly was a Romano-British kingdom in the south-west peninsular of Britain for which the names of a number of kings (not dukes) reigning here during this period have been definitively recorded in various contemporary and near contempoary manuscripts.James Frankcom (talk) 03:39, 13 November 2009 (UTC)


 * In view of the determined opposition this suggestion should be abandoned.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 15:41, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
 * OK, done. Ghmyrtle (talk) 08:55, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
