Tregatta
Tintagel () or Trevena ( kw, Tre war Venydh, meaning ''Village on a Mountain'') is a civil parish and village situated on the Atlantic coast of Cornwall, England. The village and nearby Tintagel Castle are associated with the legends surrounding King Arthur and in recent times has become a tourist attraction. Toponymy Toponymists have had difficulty explaining the origin of 'Tintagel': the probability is that it is Norman French, as the Cornish of the 13th century would have lacked the soft 'g' ('i/j' in the earliest forms: see also Tintagel Castle). If it is Cornish then 'Dun' would mean ''Fort''. Oliver Padel proposes 'Dun' '-tagell' meaning ''narrow place'' in his book on place names. There is a possible cognate in the Channel Islands named ''Tente d'Agel'', but that still leaves the question subject to doubt. The name first occurs in Geoffrey of Monmouth's ''Historia Regum Britanniae'' (c. 1136, in Latin) as ''Tintagol'', implying pronunciation with a hard sound as i ...

Treknow
Treknow () is a small village in Tintagel civil parish, Cornwall, England, United Kingdom: it is the second largest settlement, and is located between Trevena and Trebarwith. It is situated north of Bodmin, north-west of Camelford, and west of Tintagel, Treknow (''pictured right, from the old road to Trebarwith Strand'') lies within the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). History Treknow is mentioned as a manor (under the name of 'Tretdeno') in Domesday Book (1086). Charles Thomas has suggested that this manor was larger than the manor of Bossiney within which were Trevena and Tintagel Castle and its southern boundary was the Trebarwith river. Slate was quarried here from about 1305 to shortly before the Second World War: many of the quarries were on the coast and later others were opened in the Trebarwith valley to the south. One of the oldest is Lanterdan, recorded in 1464: Bagalow Quarry near Hole Beach was an enterprise of Edgar Jeffray (early 19th c ...

Bossiney
Bossiney ( kw, Boskyny, meaning ''Cyni's dwelling'') is a village in north Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. It is north-east of the larger village of Tintagel which it adjoins: further north-east are the Rocky Valley and Trethevy. Until 1832 the village, with its neighbour Trevena, returned two MPs as a Rotten Borough, for the Bossiney constituency. The beach of Bossiney Haven is located nearby. Toponymy Bossiney, which in Domesday Book was 'Botcinnii', has been explained as Cornish: 'Bod-' dwelling and 'Cini' a man's name. The spelling varied in the past (Bossinney was at one time very common). Novelist John Galsworthy used 'Bosinney' as the surname of a character in the Forsyte Saga. History Bossiney was mentioned in Domesday Book as 'Botcinnii, a manor held by the Count of Mortain from St. Petroc's Church (i.e. Bodmin Monastery), the manor at this time including Trevena.

Historia Regum Britanniae
''Historia regum Britanniae'' (''The History of the Kings of Britain''), originally called ''De gestis Britonum'' (''On the Deeds of the Britons''), is a pseudohistorical account of British history, written around 1136 by Geoffrey of Monmouth. It chronicles the lives of the kings of the Britons over the course of two thousand years, beginning with the Trojans founding the British nation and continuing until the Anglo-Saxons assumed control of much of Britain around the 7th century. It is one of the central pieces of the Matter of Britain. Although taken as historical well into the 16th century, it is now considered to have no value as history. When events described, such as Julius Caesar's invasions of Britain, can be corroborated from contemporary histories, Geoffrey's account can be seen to be wildly inaccurate. It remains, however, a valuable piece of medieval literature, which contains the earliest known version of the story of King Lear and his three daughters, and helped ...

Celtic Toponymy
Celtic toponymy is the study of place names wholly or partially of Celtic origin. These names are found throughout continental Europe, Britain, Ireland, Anatolia and, latterly, through various other parts of the globe not originally occupied by Celts. Celtic languages The Proto-Indo-European language developed into various daughter languages, including the Proto-Celtic language. In Proto-Celtic ("PC"), the Proto-Indo-European ("PIE") sound *''p'' disappeared, perhaps through an intermediate *'. After that, languages derived from Proto-Celtic changed PC *''kw'' into either *''p'' or *''k'' (see: P-Celtic and Q-Celtic languages). In P-Celtic languages, PC *''kw'' changed into *''p''. In Q-Celtic dialects it developed into /''k''/. P-Celtic languages include the Continental Gaulish language and the Brittonic branch of Insular Celtic. Common Brittonic is the ancestor of Welsh, Cornish and Breton. Ancient Q-Celtic languages include the Continental Celtiberian and the Goidelic bran ...
