The Western Kingdom by John Fletcher
The first book to deal with the facts about the Early Medieval kingdom that inspired Arthurian legend"With 'The Western Kingdom', Fletcher reviews the known sources which provide evidence for early mediaeval Cornwall and challenges the usual assumption that it's primary focus was on events on its eastern borderInstead he presents a case for Cornwall emerging from the post-Roman period as a westward and Mediterranean facing dynamic polity that maintained its centuries - old connections to the wider world. An interesting and useful addition to the field of early mediaeval studies."
