Dynod King Dumonia

(Abt 280 - Ca 340)

The Dumnonii civitas capital under the Romans was Isca Dumnoniorum (modern Exeter). Known as Caer Uisc, Exeter was still inhabited by Dumnonian Britons up until the 10th century when King Athelstan expelled them. By the mid-9th century, the royal seat may have been relocated further west, during the West Saxon advance, to Lis-Cerruyt (modern Liskeard). Cornish earls in the 10th century were said to have moved to Lostwithiel after Liskeard was seized[4]. Several other royal residences may also have served the kings of Dumnonia or Cornwall, including Din-Tagell (modern Tintagel), Cadbury Castle, and Castle Dore. The list of Dumnonian kings is one of the hardest of the major Dark Age kingdoms to accurately compile, as it is confused by Arthurian legend, complicated by strong associations with the kings of Wales and Brittany, and obscured by the relentless Saxon advance.
