Timeline of Cornish History - 700

700

• 710 - Battle of Lining (probably between the rivers Lynher and Tamar) resulted from King Geraint of Cornwall's refusal to allow the Celtic church to follow the call of the English church (which was perhaps 300 years younger) to conform to the standards of Rome. The battle was fought against the West Saxon King Ine and his kinsman, Nonna.

• 722 - Battle of Hehil - The Cornish Britons together with their friends and allies, push back a West-Saxon offensive at "Hehil", unlocated, but probably somewhere in modern Devon.
