Cornwall, as an entire state, hath at diuers times enioyed sundry
titles, of a Kingdome, Principality, Duchy, and Earledome; as may
appear by these few notes, with which I haue stored my selfe out of
our Chronicles.
[Anno mundi 2850.]
If there was a Brute King of Brittaine, by the same authority it is
to bee proued, that there was likewise a Corineus Duke of Cornwall,
whose daughter Gwendolene, Brutes eldest sonne Locrine tooke to wife,
and by her had issue Madan, that succeeded his father in the kingdome.
[3105.]
Next him, I finde Henninus Duke, who maried Gonorille, one of King
Leirs daughters and heires, and on her begat Morgan: but whiles he
attempted with his other brother in law, to wrest the kingdome from
their wiues father, by force of armes, before the course of nature
should cast the same vpon them, Cordeilla, the third disherited
sister, brought an armie out of Fraunce to the olde mans succour,
and in a pitched battell bereft Henninus of his life.
[3476.]
Clotenus King of Cornwall, begat a sonne named Mulmutius Dunwallo,
who, when this Iland had beene long distressed with the ciuil warres
of petty Kings, reduced the same againe into one peaceable Monarchy.
