Topic: King of Newfoundland


  
  King of Newfoundland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
King of Newfoundland was the title given in Newfoundland to the head of state between the British Royal and Parliamentary Titles Act 1927 and the end of Newfoundland's independence in 1934.
During this time, the Dominion of Newfoundland had an independent, self-governing existence as a dominion within the British Commonwealth, with the British monarch also serving as monarch of Newfoundland.
Prior to this, from the Dominion's founding in 1907 until 1927, the King's title was King in Newfoundland as it was considered that there was a single crown (that of the United Kingdom) throughout the British Empire.

The second wave was of the Normans in the eleventh century, who spoke Norman (an oïl language closely related to French).
While modern scholarship considers most of the story to be legendary and politically motivated, the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle reported that around the year 449, Vortigern, a legendary king of the Brythons, invited the Angles to help him against the Picts (of modern-day Scotland).
Later, it was strongly influenced by the closely related North Germanic language Old Norse, spoken by the Vikings who settled mainly in the northeast and the east coast down to London (see Danelaw, Jórvík).

Following John Cabot's return from Newfoundland in 1497, King Henry VII rewarded him with a pension of 10 pounds.
After subsequent voyages by other explorers, the royal records referred to the new Isle as the new Ilande or the new Isle until September 1502 when these descriptive words were replaced with the words the new found lande and the newe founde launde.
Thus, the word Newfoundland originates directly from the royal daybook of King Henry VII.
