Biography
Tintagel and King Arthur:
"From about AD 450 until about AD 650 Tintagel was a prosperous and highly significant site, closely involved in trade with the Mediterranean world. The island was covered with many small rectangular buildings, some visible today. A large bank and ditch, also still visible, defended the landward side of the narrow neck, which at this date may have been as high as the land on either side.
"After the mid-7th century there is little evidence of activity on the headland of Tintagel for over 500 years. In about 1138 Geoffrey of Monmouth's History of the Kings of Britain gave the figure of King Arthur, the legendary ruler of Britain, Ireland and large parts of continental Europe, its international fame.
"The History contains the earliest written mention of Tintagel in the tale of how Arthur was conceived there by Uther Pendragon, King of Britain, the result of his magically assisted seduction of Queen Igerna (Igraine), wife of Duke Gorlois of Cornwall.
"In May 1233 the newly created Earl of Cornwall, Richard, brother of Henry III, bought the 'Island of Tyntagel', together with 'Richard's castle', from Gervase de Tyntagel (whose father, Robert, had changed the family surname from Hornicote to Tintagel).[1] 'Richard's castle' was presumably built by the earl himself, and if so was begun between 1225, when King Henry granted him the county of Cornwall, and 1233, when the transaction took place."
"The Cornish were not slow in complaining about the Earl's administration of Cornwall. An opportunity to do so arose in August 1258, at the start of the reform movement, when four knights were appointed in each county to conduct an investigation into all wrongs committed by royal and baronial officials and bailiffs. In Cornwall the commissioners were Reginald de Botreaux, Gervase de Hornacott, Ralph Arundel and ALAN BLOYOU, all of them prominent local knights. (2) With Richard absent in Germany at this time, the election of these commissioners cannot have been subject to direct comital interference. Botreaux, Hornacott, Arundel and BLOYOU were thus probably popular local men, trusted by the people whose complaints they were to hear, and not the Earl's henchmen. Certainly Hornacott and BLOYOU had little reason to be on good terms with the Earl. Gervase de Hornacott had changed his name from Gervase de Tintagel after he lost the bulk of his estate to Richard's ambitions at Tintagel in the 1230s, although there is no clear evidence that he had been either coerced into or cheated by the subsequent exchange."
«b»1301«/b», Roger de Carminow, called to reply to the King for his man' of Wynyeton, said that Richard, formerly E. of Cornw., gave to a certain Gervaise de Hornyngcote, his ancestor, the manor of Wynyton, Merthyn, and Tam'ton in exchange for the manor of Bochym.
