For a long time the people of Cornwall had a bad reputation. We have a quotation from Adam de Carleton in the year 1342 as he resigned as Archdeacon of Cornwall. "The folk of these parts," he said, "are extraordinary!" (Were they strange?) It was not in their nature to cooperate. They were "obdurate in the face of attempts to teach and correct". The Cornish people did not like authority. They suffered greatly in their later rebellions. Many hundreds of men, Cornish speakers, were killed.
