 History of Cornwall -   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
Cornwall continued to serve as the principal source of tin for the civilisations of the ancient Mediterranean, and the Romans in fact knew the British Isles as the "Tin Islands" from Punic merchants who traded with the islands from the Carthaginian colonies in Spain.
Cornwall now became attached to the Kingdom of England, although the amount of its autonomy from Saxon and Norman England is currently the subject of controversy and reevaluation.
Cornwall played a fairly significant role during the English Civil War, as it was a Royalist enclave in the generally Parliamentarian southwest.

 King Arthur and King Cornwall: Introduction
Cornwall's boasts - of the daughter he fathered on Guenevere, his magical possessions, and his general superiority to Arthur - openly offend the chivalric honor of the Round Table, and demand reprisal.
King Cornwall is a false braggart, and the knights of the Round Table easily accomplish their vows and dispatch him.
This process of appropriation or domestication finds its ultimate symbol in Gawain's possessing Cornwall's daughter; forced marriage becomes the means of bringing this wayward creature back under the control of her legitimate (if not biological) father, and of joining the recalcitrant fringe to the center.
