LYONNESSE, LYONESSE, LEONNOYS

This article appears in Volume V17, Page 174 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: LUP-MAL
LYONNESSE, LYONESSE, LEONNOYS Or LEONAIS, a legendary country off the
south
 
coast
  of
Cornwall
 , England. Lyonnesse is the
scene
  of many incidents in the Arthurian romances, and especially in the romances of Tristram and Iseult. It also plays an important
part
  in purely Cornish tradition and folklore. Early
English
  chronicles, such as the Chronicon e chronicis of Florence of Worcester, who died in 1118, described minutely and without a
suggestion
  of disbelief the flourishing state of Lyonnesse, and its sudden disappearance beneath the sea. The
legend
  may be a greatly exaggerated version of some actual subsidence of inhabited
land
 . There is also a very ancient local tradition, apparently independent of the story of Lyonnesse, that the Scilly Islands formed
part
  of the Cornish mainland within historical times.
See Florentii Wigorniensis monachi Chronicon ex chronicis, &c., ed. B.
Thorpe
  (London, 1848-1849).
