  NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Kernyw
The Kingdom of Kernyw existed during the Dark Ages in Britain's southwestern peninsula.
It was known to the English of neighbouring Wessex as the kingdom of the West Welsh, later as Cornwall.
Blake and Lloyd rightly point out that Cornwall became enmeshed in the Arthurian legends largely as a result of Geoffrey of Monmouth’s use of the word Cornubia to refer to his birthplace.

 Theory-verse ::: Rumor Propagation II: Half-Baked Planning
Whenever Professor Kernyw turned to point out something on the screen, he’d have to put his back to Jack, which was ideal since Jack spent about ten seconds of every minute madly copying the notes and the other fifty seconds searching the auditorium.
Then she dodged left and he got a clear view of what was happening: Kernyw had a woman by the arm and was trying to pull her back, while she was doing everything short of punching him to try and get free.
Kernyw’s back was to Jack; he cursed and arched, lifting his free arm.

  South Cadbury - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Militarily the location makes sense as a place where the south-western Britons (the kingdom of Kernyw) could have defended themselves against attacks from lowland Britons.
If Arthur was indeed born at Tintagel as a prince of Kernyw, Cadbury would have been close to his eastern frontier.
It has been suggested that the name Cadbury derives from Cado, King of Kernyw in the time of Arthur.

 The ‘Three Seas of Ynys Pridein’
The Sea of Caithness is named in HRB ix.1 and possibly in iii.5, where the mention of a ‘shore’ is ambiguous; the Irish Sea occurs in HRB viii.14; the English Channel is mentioned in HRB v.12.
What Blake and Lloyd have done is conflate two stories – that of the north to south road of Bran/Brennius and that of the numerous roads called Sarn Elen – and then use their conflated version to identify the location of the road ‘to the shore of Caithness’ with one of the Sarnau Elen.
They even stretch their definition of Kernyw southwards as far as Machynlleth to make the details fit their revised geography, despite an earlier statement that it was the Lleyn Peninsula.

 Chapter IX: Place-Name Stories
56c:--The third was Coll son of Kallureuy with the swine of Daffwyr Daltben in Dallwyr's Glen in Kernyw.
Now one of the swine was with young and Henwen was her name; and it was foretold that the Isle of Prydain would be the worse for her litter; and Arthur collected the host of Prydain and went about to destroy it.
Kernyw is the Welsh for Cornwall, but if Penryn Awstin or Hawstin is to be identified with Aust Cliff on the Severn Sea in Gloucestershire, the story would seem to indicate a time when Cornwall extended north-eastwards as far as that point.

And I will set up three shouts (1) at this very gate, than which none were ever more deadly, from the top of Pengwaed (2) in Cornwall (3) [called Kernyw in the Welsh text] to the bottom of Dinsol, in the North (4), and to Esgair Oervel(5), in Ireland [called Iwerddon in the Welsh text].
(3) Kernyw is the Welsh name of British Cornwall, same name as that the one Armorican Cornwall: Kernèo and Kerné.

The Saxons took the control of three important cities, Caer Baddan (Bath), Caer Gloui (Gloucester) and Caer Ceri (Cirencester), and separating Dyfneint from Gwent and the other Briton kingdoms.
It became known as Kernyw, or Cornwall, probably after the name the Saxons give to Dyfneint's Britons, the Corn-o-Wealas, and the foreigners of the south.
Cornwall capital, Caer Uisc, modern Exeter, fell to Wessex in 711 AD, but the city was retaken in 722 AD after the victory of River Camel.
