About this event
An epic adventure story, an hour of fast-moving oral storytelling by Mike O’Connor, with achingly beautiful music by Barbara Griggs.
The year is 936. The Dargan a Verdhin (Prophecy of Merlin), an ancient and precious Cornish book, traces the lineage of the kings of Cornwall, and is an icon of Cornish nationhood. Stolen by Saxons, its message suppressed, it lies in a monastery at Exeter.
But then, as William of Malmesbury recorded, the Saxon King Athelstan, hungry for land, obliged (the Cornish) to retreat from Exeter, which till that time they had inhabited with equal privileges with the English, fixing the boundary of their province on the other side of the River Tamar … This city (he) cleansed by purging it of its contaminated race.
At once Britons east of the Tamar become refugees…
An Esedhvos Kernow Festival of Cornish Culture event.
