| | CORNOVII |
 | | This extreme outpost of the Cornovii was possibly founded by a renegade prince and his retinue, who travelled westwards along this tributary of the Sabrina from their Cornovian homelands in Shropshire. | | | It has been suggested that the lack of metal and fine pottery finds is indicative that the Cornovii were not the most wealthy of Celtic peoples. | | | This fort marks the boundary between the Cornovii and their less-refined neighbours the Ordovices. |

| | Cornwall and the Cornovii |
| | The theory is that a unit of auxiliaries raised amongst the Cornovii was stationed on the peninsula to guard it against Irish raiders and that this unit survived into the period of the Anglo-Saxon settlements and put up resistance against the invaders. | | | AncientWorlds > Celtia > Mur Ollamhan > History of The Celts > Cornwall and the Cornovii | | | So, to the Anglo-Saxon invaders, the peninsula which had previously been known as Dumnonia was the place where the wealas who called themselves the Cornovii lived. |

| | This group of communists run by Lorien and his followers has the support of Brk the barbarian and membership of some of the local dryads who do not believe in coin. | | | The Romanov Faction came to Cornovii after being dispossessed by their people in Russia. | | | This faction is relatively new to Cornovii (2 years this fest) and people are still not quite sure what to make of them. |

| | The Family |
| | Just as ordinary people have families of their own, The Cornovii, have always focussed on the main values of kinfolk, and being of the blood which we all share and makes us one. | | | For those of you who are not familiar with Hereditary Craft, most Family Traditions are held together by a common bond. | | | Other aspects of the Family will be discussed when the time is right, but until then, may I direct you to the hyperlink to get you back to our homepage. |

| | Cornovii - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The Cornovii (perhaps meaning people of the horn), were a people of Iron Age and Roman Britain, who lived in the modern counties of North Staffordshire, Shropshire and Cheshire in the English West Midlands. | | | Viroconium Cornoviorum became one of the most important cities in Roman Britain, where Legio XIV Gemina was garrisoned for some time. | | | The tombstone of a thirty-year-old woman of the Cornovii called Vedica has been found at Ilkley in Yorkshire. |

| | Cornovii - Corieltauvi - Dobunni - Durotriges - Dumnonii - Chysauster - Carn Euny |
| | Although the Cornovii share their name with a Caledonian tribe (it is likely to mean 'people of the horn'), there is no reason to suspect a connection between the two. | | | There is also a fogou at Chysauster (but in a poor state and blocked off), however, no traces of an earlier settlement (which is thought must exist) have, as yet, been found. | | | Little is known of the Cornovii themselves, but the capital of their civitas, Viroconium (Wroxeter), became one of the largest in Britain. |

| | VIROCONIVM CORNOVIORVM |
| | The most convincing argument concerning the origin and development of the name Viroconium is that it is a Romanisation of the Celtic name for the town which was perhaps Viriconon, meaning 'The Town of Virico', a personal name which is known to have been used in Gaul. | | | Wroxeter also appears in the seventh century document the Ravenna Cosmology (R&C#79), where it is listed as Utriconion Cornoviorum between the entries for Levobrinta (Forden Gaer, Powys) and the unknown station Alauna. | | | The name of the town Utriconion is here suffixed by the word/phrase Cornoviorum which means 'of the Cornovii', which was used either; |

| | The Cornovii |
| | They lived in highly organised societies which traded with people from around the civilised world. | | | The Cornovii controlled no routes to the south, through Dobunni territory, and their contact with the sea was at Meols on the north Wirral coast, near modern Liverpool. | | | There were natural brine springs at Nantwich, Middlewich, and Northwich, a valuable commodity used for preserving both food and leather, which the Cornovii traded around the country. |

| | My favourite place, the Wrekin in Shropshire and some notes on Viriconium and the Cornovii |
| | As he said this he threw down the clod of earth and it formed the mountain we now call the Wrekin. | | | Following their defeat by the Romans the Cornovii were moved to a Roman style city at Wroxeter or Viriconium as the Romans called it. | | | Because of the respect they bore him, rather than being executed or sold into slavery, Caractacus and his family were given land in Rome itself. |

| | One theory suggests that a contingent was sent to the West Country in order to rule the land there and keep out the invading Irish. | | | However, there is no evidence for this move west, and Cornish place names of a similar age indicate that there was an independent tribe of Cornovii in the West Country. | | | A people of this name are known, from Roman sources, to have lived in the Outer Powys to Shropshire area of the later Wales and England. |

| | Constantius became known as Pendragon (not Uterpendragon) and in the following excerpt, Pendragon and Aetius are on their way back to Wroxceastir after an inspection at Guar Wysg. | | | When Constantius III returned with an army to Britannia Prima in 417 to purge the province of aggressive barbarians, he made his home base at Gorlois's tribal center at Viroconium, also known as Wroxeter, in the center of the Cornovii territory, which separated the Welsh from the Anglians when Rome had occupied the island. | | | If that were to be done, then Gelliwig, Rhita Gawr, Mons Aravius (Aran Mountains) and a host of other geographic sites and Welsh historical figures would be accurately placed geographically. |
