Be bold - if you know something about Cornwall then put it in! We value your contributions and don't be afraid if your spelling isn't great as there are plenty of spelling and grammar experts on clean-up duty!
Articles on settlements in Cornwall should be written using the standard set of headings approved by the UK geography WikiProject's guideline How to write about settlements.
At WikiProject Cornwall we subscribe to the policies laid down by Wikipedia - particularly civility and consensus building. We are aware that the wording on Cornish entries can sometimes be a contentious topic, especially those concerning geography. You don't have to agree with everything but there is no excuse for rudeness and these things are best solved through consensus building and compromise. For more information see WP:CornwallGuideline.
These pages are not platforms for political discussion. Issues relating to Cornish politics should be restricted to those pages that directly deal with these issues (such as Constitutional status of Cornwall, Cornish nationalism, etc) and should not overflow into other articles.
Most of all have fun editing - that's the reason we all do this, right?!

Baldwin ?![edit]

Anyone has informations on who is this Baldwin, 1st Earl of Cornwall ? I haven't found anything on an earl between 1180 and 1188. It seems the title was owned by John of England...—Preceding unsigned comment added by PurpleHz (talk • contribs) 14:03, 7th November 2006

The only thing I can find is "The Annals of Waverley record the death in 1188 of “Baldewinus comes Cornubiæ, consanguineus regis”[268]. This is the only reference so far identified to Baldwin have succeeded as Earl of Cornwall, presumably de iure uxoris if this succession is correct." at [1].

this Baldwin is also Earl of Devon (i.e. Baldwin de Redvers, 3rd Earl of Devon) BALDWIN (-10 or 28 May 1188). The Fundationis et Fundatorum Historia of Ford Abbey names “Baldwinum secundum et Ricardum tertium” as the two sons of ”Ricardus secundus”, adding that both sons died childless[264]. Robert of Torigny records that "parvulum filium…Balduinum" succeeded on the death in 1162 of "Richardus de Revers dominus insula Vectæ in Anglia"[265]. He succeeded his father in 1162 as Earl of Devon, Lord of the Isle of Wight, probably invested with the earldom in 1185 or 1186[266]. The Obituary of Lyre records the death 10 May of “Baldewinus comes”[267]. The Annals of Waverley record the death in 1188 of “Baldewinus comes Cornubiæ, consanguineus regis”[268]. This is the only reference so far identified to Baldwin have succeeded as Earl of Cornwall, presumably de iure uxoris if this succession is correct. m (Betrothed 1177) as her first husband, DENISE de Déols, daughter and heiress of RAOUL [VII] Sire de Déols et de Châteauroux & his second wife Agnès de Charenton (1173-1221[269], bur Déols). The primary source which confirms her first marriage has not yet been identified. She married secondly (Salisbury Aug 1189) André [I] de Chauvigny Sire de Chauvigny, and thirdly (after 1203, maybe repudiated before 1207) as his first wife, Guillaume [I] Comte de Sancerre.

Earl of Cornwall, Anglo-Saxon title (c. 925)[edit]

Where does c. 925 come from? and the Anglo-Saxon? Bodrugan (talk) 19:58, 19 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

In 925 there were no earls in Cornwall.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 14:25, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Brian[edit]

Battle of Exeter: Afterwards the Earl, in conjunction with Brian of Brittany, attacked the Cornishmen west of Exeter forcing a retreat. William the Conqueror granted the Earldom of Cornwall to Count Brian of Brittany, who later commenced the construction of Launceston Castle, Trematon Castle and Bossiney Castle.^[1] Perhaps Brian should be listed here if the information is reliable.
