Cornish devolution
Cornish devolution is the movement to increase the governing powers of the County of Cornwall.
By the end of King Ine's reign (688–726), the West Saxon frontier had probably reached the modern western border of Devon. Anglo-Saxon expansion into Cornwall may have begun under King Ecgberht (802–839), although the Cornish had their own king as late as 875, when Dungarth rex Cerniu is said to have drowned. Some level of Cornish independence may have continued into the 10th century, consistent with William of Malmesbury's account of King Æthelstan's expulsion of the Britons from Exeter and establishment of the River Tamar as the boundary between Cornwall and Wessex.
In 1066, much of Cornwall was invaded by the Normans, and Brian of Brittany may have been made earl of Cornwall by William the Conqueror and some Cornish people returned to Cornwall from Brittany following prior invasion by the Anglo-Saxons.
The peerage of the Earl of Cornwall was created and first appointed to Condor of Cornwall, a survivor of the royal lineage of Cornwall.
The Duchy of Cornwall was formed in 1337 by English king Edward III for his first born son, Prince Edward, and a charter stated this would continue in the same manner for each eldest son of the English monarch. The Duke of Cornwall is the title given to the holder of the Duchy of Cornwall, and the Duke holds some rights in Cornwall and owns the coastline and riverbeds around Cornwall as well as the significant profits from which are produced. These profits contribute to financial support of the English Duke of Cornwall.
In 1497, Michael Joseph An Gof and Thomas Flamank and a Cornish army marched upon London in protest of raised taxes by Henry VII who aimed to increase funding for a war against the Scots. The Cornish army was defeated and An Gof and Flamank were both executed. However, the rebellion may have influenced the decision by Henry to introduce the Charter of Pardon in 1508 which gave powers to the Convocation of the Tinners of Cornwall (commonly known as the Stannary Parliaments) to veto English legislation in Cornwall.
The Local Government Act 1888 established Cornwall as an administrative county and established Cornwall County Council.
Managing director of Ginsters Mark Duddridge has outlined what he believes to be key reasons that Cornwall would benefit from increased devolution powers citing:
