Duke of Cornwall appears as a title in pseudo historical authors as Nennius and Geoffrey of Monmouth . The list is extremely patchy, and not every succession was unbroken. Indeed, Geoffrey repeatedly introduces Dukes of Cornwall only to promote them to the List of legendary kings of Britain Kingship of the Britons and thus put an end to their line as merely dukes. As adjuncts or supporting roles to the kings of the Britons, the legendary dukes of Cornwall are considered part of the vast Matter of Britain . The list is more often thought of as a conglomeration of various Celtic rulers, Celtic warlords, and mythical heroes. If the lists of kings of Britain are legendary, then the list of dukes must be considered still more a genealogical and historical legend with no solid basis in the view of most historians.

for indigenous people of Brazil Xavante Awen is a Welsh language Welsh word for poetic Artistic inspiration inspiration . It is historically used to describe the divine inspiration of bards in the Welsh poetic tradition. Someone who is inspired, as a poet or a wikt soothsayer soothsayer , is an awenydd . In current usage, awen is sometimes ascribed to musician s and poet s, but the word has mostly come to be used as a female given name . It appears in the third stanza of Hen Wlad fy Nhadau . Etymology The first recorded attestation of the word occurs in Nennius Historia Brittonum , a Latin text of circa 796 AD, based in part on earlier writings by the Welsh monk, Gildas . Awen derives from the Indo European root uel , meaning to blow , and has the same root as the Welsh word awel meaning breeze . There is a parallel word to awen in Irish, ai , also meaning poetic inspiration which derives from the same ancient root. ref Jarman, A.O.H.

Hussa was the seventh known ruler of the Anglo Saxon England Anglo Saxon kingdom of Bernicia , ruling for seven years from about 585 to about 592. It is not entirely certain whether Hussa was the son of Ida of Bernicia Ida , founder of the kingdom of Bernicia, or rather the leader of a rival Anglian faction. Little is known of Hussa s life and reign, however. At some point during his reign, the coalition forces of Rheged and the Britons historical Brythonic kingdoms of Strathclyde , Bernicia and Elmet laid siege to Hussa and was almost successful in driving the Anglian Bernician kings out of Sub Roman Britain Britain .

Refimprove article date September 2009 Morcant Bulc was a Britons historical Brythonic prince, probably a king, from Northern Sub Roman Britain Britain , during the period between the end of the Roman Empire and the establishment of an English people English state during the early Middle Ages . Morcant appears in a line of Men of Y Gogledd Hen the North from Old Welsh pedigrees. He was apparently preceded by his father, Cuncar, and succeeded by his son, Coledauc. Nothing else is known of him. However, historians have conjectured that his kingdom may have lain in Gododdin Lothian , Alt Clut Strathclyde or Bernicia Bryneich Northumberland in the late 6th century. Morcant Morcant s first name is a form of Morgan . It is possible that he may therefore be identified with other Morgans found elsewhere in the Life of Saint Mungo St. Kentigern and the writings of Nennius King Morken, apparently of Alt Clut , the opponent of St. Kentigern, during his early missionary work, who expelled the saint from his kingdom. King Morcant who almost single handedly destroyed any hope the Britons of Y Gogledd Hen The Old North had of resisting the Angles Anglian invaders during 6th century. He was part of a grand Britons historical Brythonic alliance, along with King Urien of Rheged , King Riderch I of Alt Clut Riderch Hael of Kingdom of Strathclyde Alt Clut and King Gwallawc Marchawc Trin of Elmet . They were initially extremely successful in driving back the Angles from Bryneich territory, forcing them to vacate Din Guardi possibly the capital around 590 and besieging them on Ynys Metcaut now called Lindisfarne . However, Morcant grew envious of the successes of Urien, and perhaps became uneasy about the prospects of a greatly empowered Rheged after the Angles had been defeated. Treacherously, he had Urien assassinated by a man called Llofan Llaf Difo and the alliance of the Britons of the North collapsed.
