Cornish conspiracy theory 

The Cornish conspiracy theory is claimed to be a long-running conspiracy by the English establishment to suppress Cornish people of their rights, identity and autonomy. It is claimed that the main reason why the Cornish are being denied recognition of their identity is to prevent any public debate or official enquiry into the constitutional status of Cornwall regarding the Duchy of Cornwall, sometimes referred to as the "Cornish Question". Historians point to the fact that in 1508 the 'Charter of Pardon' was granted by Henry VII to give Cornwall (Kernow) a legal right to its own Parliament and the 1858 Cornish Foreshore Case confirmed that the Duke of Cornwall is considered to be a quasi-sovereign within the Duchy of Cornwall territory (Kernow). In 1971 The Kilbrandon Report into the British constitution recommended that when referring to Cornwall official sources should cite the Duchy not the County and in 1977 Plaid Cymru MP Dafydd Wigley confirmed in Parliament that the Stannators right to veto Westminster legislation is still valid today.

'Ere, I reckon it's that there Cornish conspiracy theory again - what they doin' about that 50,000 petition for more autonomy, that there Cornish Census tick box, more money for a proper Cornish language and recognition as a proper indigenous ethnic group with the Council of Europe ? matter do 'ee ?

Cornish Army 

The Cornish Army was first used in combat in 1497, during the Cornish Rebellion. A blacksmith and a lawyer managed to raise an army of 15,000 men and marched into Devon, conquering it, relatively unopposed. Wells, Winchester, Bristol, and Salisbury were taken, though while in Taunton they suffered a slight hiccup when a tax commissioner was murdered, but apart from this one incedent the march was referred to as, 'without any slaughter, violence or spoil of the country'. They tried to rally the 'volatile men of Kent*' to their cause, but the Kentishmen had decided that what was going on was too far away to concern them. This disheartened a number of the Cornish troops, who decided to call it quits and went home. The remainder of the forces decided to take on the King (Henry VII). They arrived at Guildford and awaited the retaliation of the Crown. They were attacked by a meager force of 500 mounted spearmen, which they promptly defeated. The Cornish army then moved in on London and the Royal Family barricaded themselves in the Tower of London, whilst the rest of the city began to panic. At Blackheath the Cornish set up their final camp and prepared for 'The Battle Of Deptford Bridge' (located in south-east London).
The Cornish army had by this point around 12,000 troops, while the King had a whooping 25,000. The battle lasted about half a day and ended with the defeat of the Cornish.
Wouldn't it have been interesting if they had won?

The Cornish Army was quite cool... for the 15th Century.

cornish 

The cornish come from cornwall. They are more clever than you think and have an excellent sense of humour.

One thing occasionally overlooked is that the cornish are actually celts. They are related to the irish, scottish and welsh, not forgetting the bretons. When naming the celtic countries, cornwall should be mentioned, but sadly never is.

Man 1: The cornish?

Man 2: Yeah, part of a great race of people called the celts!
