Kingdom: England

Comments: Cornwall occupies the southeastern peninsula of England, jutting out into the Atlantic Ocean. One of the last refuges of the Romano-Britons after the Barbarian invasion, it was long known as 'West Wales,' for its Celtic character, which it still retains. Even today a Breton may carry on a conversation with a Cornishman or a Welshman with little difficulty. The shire was incorporated into the Anglo-Saxon Kingdom of Wessex, which became the Kingdom of England, in the 9th century.

In this Year of Grace 1337 Good King Edward has conferred upon his son Prince Edward the title of Duke of Cornwall, the first duchy in England, to be reserved to the heir of the throne. Cornwall is under the ecclesiastical jurisdiction of the Archbishop of Canterbury . There is a good deal of fishing done in Cornwall, and industries related to fishing (i.e., salting and shipping the fish) predominate. Agricultural pursuits are not well rewarded.
