Description
Kernow ha’y Breselyow Ystorek (Kernow and her Historic Wars) sets the record straight regarding the many wars, rebellions and battles that took place in history between the Cornish and the English. The major events in the history of Cornwall are painted in a broad brushstrokes and have never, even today, been covered in the school curriculum, in ‘official’ history books or in the media, despite contemporary sources testifying to the true facts.
This book, covering the Cornish Rebellion of 1497, the Prayer Book War or Western Rising of 1549, and the Civil War of 1642-1646, is no pretty picture of an idyllic age when two peoples, one on each side of the Tamar, lived happily and peacefully side by side.
Meticulously researched by Rod Lyon, written in the Standard Written Form of Late Cornish with traditional graphs and published by Kowethas an Yeth Kernewek, this second edition is 112 pages with sources, as well as black and white maps, photographs and other images.
About the series: Hwithra Istori, Examining History, is Kowethas an Yeth’s new history series, starting with Kernow ha’y Breselyow Ystorek by Rod Lyon and continuing to feature Cornish history through a Cornish lens.
