greetings from Germany. We just visited Cornwall and had a spectular and fantasic time in St. Ives mostly, but other places, too. We loved it, seriously, it is such a beautiful spot on this earth!
Proud to say that my Pap is the head of the Cornish Stannary Parliament. I've always been taught by him that I am not English, and nor will I ever will be. It's sad that so few Cornish people know their own heritage and culture. I really hope that one day the Cornish will be granted independence from England and be allowed to govern themselves. We existed long before England was even a word, through the ages we have traded with many nations, from the Polynesians to the Romans. We pioneered the mining industry from which the entire world now relies upon. I am proud to be Cornish, and will never call myself English.
I have lived in west Devon on the moors my whole life but spent a big chunk down in Cornwall, my family is all from Cornwall and Devon and seeing the real Cornish people like us leave due to the closing of major industries and tourists and second homeowners taking the houses away saddens me. I hope the government does something and cracks down on the second homeowners ruining cornwall for the actual locals
I am Cornish, love Cornwall and all our brythonic cousins wherever they maybe. I live far away in Asia and many Cornish left 'ome over the centuries to find better prospects. Go to Australia, America and other countries where you can find Cornish descendents and communities. For onen hag ol. Kernow bys vyken.

@@joemorris8576 "before the saxons came" ...there was no England right ? England was born out of the Anglo-Saxons. England is Anglo-Saxon. Before then, the land we know today as England, was made up of different celtic tribes = pre-England. So in other words, "You know the English once had celtic culture before the saxons came" - make no sense whatsoever.
I’m part of a group that is trying to get Cornwall to be granted it’s own assembly, devolved parliament or even better its own independence again. Our group contains a fair few Cornish historians and as far as we have been able to research there are very few records of Cornwall ever being annexed into Wessex officially or ever even becoming part of England. However this video will be a great help in allowing us to do more research into Cornwall’s history as over the centuries England has altered a lot of it and a lot of historic documents stating Cornwall’s independence were lost during the British civil war.
Has Brexit taught you nothing? It's less borders the world needs, not more. Local Assemblies are fine, well distanced from the Dead Hand of Westminster
independence on the level of Scotland (or even becoming part of Scotland, instead of part of England) at least would go a long way to being properly recognised. actual full independence isn't feasible without first building a self-sustaining economy, not dependent on tourism. and independence will only be meaningful if there is disincentives for non-Cornish living in Cornwall to leave, and simultaneous encouragement for those with Cornish heritage living abroad to come back. no sense in becoming our own country when three quarters of the population are not Cornish.
As soon as the ice started retreating, about 10,000 BC, people moved over from the continent to the whole of the British Isles. These people were the original Ancient Britons, and no-one knows what language they spoke. The Celts didn't arrive in Britain until about 400 BC, and they were only a small minority, but they brought their languages and culture to the Britons. It's not accurate to refer to the Britons as Celts. They were only Celts by language.
True. A lot of West Britons don't fit the red haired blue eyed Celt stereotype. The Cornish were known for being dark haired, tanned, blue/brown eyed, until very recently. They were compared to Semitic people during the 1800's. But unfortunately a lot of that old Cornish type move to other parts of the world during the mining slump of the mid to late 1870's. Then the Anglos moved in. Tin Mahn/mahner became Tin Moyn/Moyner. Dark haired Cornish were called the result of Spanish rape, and son on. Sad times.
Christianity was in Cornwall from the beginning as testified by St Helens oratory at Cape Cornwall a roman era christian building and also historical anecdotal evidence.Also at 6.57 Cornwall was the only place the Armada managed to land in at Mousehole,killing the mayor and marching to a place called Paul where they burnt the church.later they were defeated by a local militia in the area of Penzance called the battlefield,where I grew up.
the St Helens chapel was built by early modern mine workers so they didn't have to stank all the way to St Just to pray before going down. there are no Roman structures in Cornwall, and no Christian building before the second millennium AD. anything depicting a cross is the Sun Cross, which only combined with the Christian Cross to indoctrinate the natives, and is also why many ancient sites have churches built on top of them, including castle Kenidjack, visible from the Helens Oratory.
Nice, but just a small correction due to linguistic anachronism. A Cornish king would not have paid tribute to "Denmark", but a king. The sovereign states of today have little in common with the realms from a thousand years ago. The realms were ruled by kings and dynasties, not by its people through chosen representatives. Also, Cnut the Great might have come from Denmark, but he ruled England as a separate realm, as he ruled Norway too. Denmark, Norway and England were not one kingdom under his rule. These were separate realms under the rule of the same king. It was a personal union, where the word "personal" is quite important. The three are sometimes referred to as a North Sea Empire, which it was, but it was the empire of a king from Denmark, not an empire of Denmark. It might sound like an inconsequential detail, but I think it's not. People today often have a very skewed idea of the past, talking in terms of "when we ruled" this and that. I'm sure they (or rather their forefathers) ruled nothing at all. Most people were peasents who knew nothing about ruling. They were themselves ruled by the elites of the time. The national romanticism of the 19th century still causes confusion.

+Kevin Picton Cornish, Welsh and Breton are all Brythonic languages as before the Romans all of England was Brythonic, and of direct Celtic descent south of the Firth of Forth.

Hundreds of years ago, Cornwall was an entirely Celtic people, like Scotland and Wales. So it's not a surprise since all of the revolts sprung directly from English or French oppression. But since so many Cornish died fighting for their independence, the language and culture have declined massively. And Cornwall is not the only one: the Welsh, the Irish and the Scottish have all fought for their independence, but ultimately came under control of the English at some point or another. I think that Cornwall's status is unfairly represented as a "county" of England, and that we should be given a regional assembly at the least.
@@jamesgoodwin2450 no worries, I should have elaborated. The horn is the shape of the peninsula. The Cornish called themselves the Cornovii before the Romans and Saxons came as well.

The thing i don't like about Cornwall is how up their own arse the natives, Cornwall hast really been independent for over 1000 years, you dont see people from Gloucestershire asking for independence because they were once the petty kingdom of Hwicce over 1000 years ago
Please tell me about a party campaigning for the independence of Gloucestershire of all counties because I've never heard of one. The difference between Cornwall and Gloucestershire is that the Cornish see us as a people somewhat apart from the English, and it is even recorded this way in medieval texts. As the kingdom of England was sometimes referred to as "England and Cornwall". Also the Cornish people and language (despite the language being kind of dead at this point) are recognised as minorities by the UK Government. But I'm not saying that I want independence for Cornwall, because if we did we probably wouldn't be able to economically support ourselves, much like the situation an independent Wales would have to face.
exactly my point, the cornish people are so far up their own arse they have a sense of superiority just because some 600 year old texts refer to it as a separate entity.

Russian Empire but they aren't though are they.... you cannot trace their heritage through about 1500 years to prove they are full Cornish
HMBFarage , sound like your the only arse here mate, sour grapes for not being Cornish, it's cool I get it
no, not at all
Can't you use that language money for something else?
Why would a nation neglect its own language that’s like saying why don’t the French stop speaking French and start speaking German.
Rubbish........
Nice video!
