The Kingdom of Cornwall was an independent polity in southwest Britain during the Early Middle Ages, roughly contiguous with the modern English county of Cornwall. During the the sub-Roman and early medieval periods Cornwall was evidently part of the kingdom of Dumnonia, which included most of the West Country, but the exact nature of its relationship with the kingdom is unclear. Between the 7th and the 10th centuries most of Dumnonia's land was gradually taken by the Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Wessex, and Cornwall emerged as a rump state known to the Saxons as West Wales. It is unclear when exactly Cornwall was finally conquered and absorbed into England, but it had certainly happened by the reign of Edward the Confessor, when it was part of the Earldom of Wessex. Since then, the titles Earl of Cornwall and Duke of Cornwall have been used by the English peerage, beginning in the reign of William I.
