"Duke of Cornwall" appears as a title in pseudo-historical authors such as Geoffrey of Monmouth. The list is patchy and not every succession was unbroken. Indeed, Monmouth repeatedly introduces Dukes of Cornwall only to promote them to the Kingship of the Britons and thus put an end to their line as (merely) dukes. As adjuncts or supporting roles to the kings of the Britons, the legendary dukes of Cornwall are considered part of the vast Matter of Britain, and can also be found in other stories, such as Culhwch and Olwen, the Prose Tristan, Havelok the Dane, and Gesta Herewardi. Antiquaries such as Richard Carew (Survey of Cornwall, 1602) and John Williams (the Book of Baglan, 1600–1607) also provide lists of legendary rulers of Cornwall, often combining the above with other sources.

  • Questa è una lista dei duchi leggendari di Cornovaglia che appaiono in alcuni autori pseudostorici come Nennio, Gildas e soprattutto Goffredo di Monmouth, per riferirsi ai leggendari duchi di questa regione della Britannia celtica. La lista, estrapolata dai lavori degli autori citati, è molto irregolare e ci sono molte interruzioni nella successione. Va considerata come un insieme di vari sovrani e signori della guerra celtici, e di eroi mitologici. Anche in Goffredo, il titolo di questi signori oscilla fra quello di "duca" (dux Cornubiae) e quello di "re" (rex Cornubiae). (it)
