		Their acceptance of the priests' support was based on the fact it would profit them a little among the people of West Saxon Land, for despite the general lack of enthusiasm for the religion, no Saxon would openly condemn the gods.

	The Heroic Age: Saxon Bishop and Celtic King
		Given the evidence of Aldhelm's letter, it is not surprising then that the conversion of Dumnonia to the Roman Easter is attributed to his efforts, though this is an assumption for which there is no direct supporting evidence (Davies 1992: 14).
		Furthermore, given that Sherborne was established, in all likelihood, near the then border with Dumnonia, Aldhelm as bishop may have had a role in the maintenance of relations between the West Saxons and Dumnonians.
		It is possible that the Sherborne grant is representative of some accord, mediated by Aldhelm, between Dumnonia and Wessex: an attempt perhaps by Geraint to slow the steady westward advance of the West Saxons.

	Ancient Dumnonia
		Whether there ever was an Arthur (and there is evidence of an 'Artorus') what is evident that the Celtic tribes did unite to halt the westward expansion of the Angles and Saxons and that expansion was stopped [for at least fifty years].
		Nevertheless many people from Dumnonia settled in [Armorica, later known as] Brittany, naming regions after their homeland (Cornouaille [Cornwall] in the south west of Brittany, and Domnonee [Devon] in the north east of Brittany) and taking with them the Celtic language.
		Eventually the West Saxon advance westward recommenced and in the sixth century (AD 577) the Britons of the West Country were separated from those of Wales.

		The story of the union between Dumnonia and Cambria in 838 reads a lot like an alliance between two Celtic chieftains, and that may well be a vague recollection of the alliance between Mark and Arthur four centuries before.
		Piracy in the 1898 War: Who the actual pirates were is not entirely clear; though I suspect that Dumnonia's history of gunrunning, smuggling and other perfectly normal international activities MIGHT cause a slight shade of suspicion to be cast on the blameless Kemrese.
