	The Heroic Age: Saxon Bishop and Celtic King
		Further, for Geraint, as a Dumnonian king, to give land to a Saxon abbey implies a level of civility between him and the West Saxon church, and this act could be taken as corroborative of the contention that he did ultimately approve of Roman Christian practice.
		Finberg (1964a: 88) suggests that Geraint's grant was part of a policy to "conciliate the principal churches of Wessex".
		The fact that Geraint was at war with Ine and Nunna in 710, the year after Aldhelm's death, could imply that Aldhelm did have some role here, and was at the very least able to keep Dumnonia and Wessex away from outright warfare (Anglo-Saxon Chronicle 709, 710; Swanton 2000: 40-43).

		During his reign, Wessex is believed to have conquered the lands that became the county of Devon in a series of battles that culminated in a victory of Wessex and Sussex forces under Ine in AD A letter survives addressed to him from Aldhelm on the Easter Problem[?].

	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].
		Dumnonia has many strong claims to Arthur, but it is difficult to match legend with fact.
		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.

		Cornish saints such as Piran, Meriasek, or Geraint exercised a religious and arguably political influence; their activities also connected Cornwall strongly with Ireland, Brittany, Scotland, and Wales, where many of these saints were trained or formed monasteries.
		God knows exactly what we are capable of and requires of us no more or less.
		The Celtic Church of Dumnonia is not party to the decision and the Cornish Church remains monastic in nature.

	Cornovaglia
		Infatti, i loro nomi appaiono ampiamente interscambiabili: Dumnonia quello latino e Cornwall o Cornu-Wealha quelli anglosassoni (cioÃ¨ i gallesi del Cornoâ, perchÃ© il prefisso Corn-, che veniva dal celtico, significava proprio corno, indicando, ovviamente, la conformazione geografica della zona e forse anche la presenza della popolazione pre-romana dei cornavi).
		Santi come Piran, Meriasek o Geraint esercitarono una forte influenza religiosa e politica, riuscendo a connettere in maniera stretta la Cornovaglia con lâIrlanda, la Bretagna, la Scozia e il Galles, dove molti di loro si erano formati o avevano costruito monasteri.
		Nel frattempo i sassoni del Wessex si stavano rapidamente avvicinando da est e stavano schiacciando il regno della Dumnonia.
