Lyonesse Wiki

==Welcome to the Principality of Lyonesse==
The Principality of Lyonesse is what the world calls a "Micronation".  Micronations are those independent nations that are established and proclaimed but, go unrecognized by larger governmental bodies such as the United Kingdom, the United States of America or the other recognized nations but, still meet all the requirements of a "recognized nation".  LyonesseWiki has been created to educate others and document the rise of this newest nation within the world.  It will also catalogue those Family histories within the Principality and abroad, as provided through research and from the Families themselves. 
==What is Lyonesse==
Legends of old say, Lyonesse was once a mighty Kingdom upon the Elder Isles just off of the coast of presentday Cornwall, UK, stretching into the Atlantic Ocean beyond the Isles of Scilly.  Some say that it was known as Avalon of King Arthur legend, some say the mysterious Island of Tir Na Nog of the Irish legends, and still further folk say that it could be attributed to the legends of Atlantis. Off the coast of Cornwall lies a tiny island named St Michael's Mount, presently a monastary and local tourist attraction but, from its high hills at low tide the remains of a petrified forest can be seen.  Between there and the Isles of Scilly is a rock formation known as "The Seven Stones". Many fishermen have pulled up remnants of buildings and other items associated with some civilization underneath the waves there further, boat captains have reported hearing church bells ringing at this location as well. A mystery yet to be uncovered or solved.
The Principality of Lyonesse today claims these islands and the surrounding ocean floor as its own, as well as, Family owned lands within the borders of the United States of America in southeastern North Carolina. After being cornated, HRH Lothian, Prince of Lyonesse, also claimed those coastal lands that surround North and South Carolina's intercoastal waterways protected by the barrier islands as Commonwealth Lands.  These Commonwealth Lands of Lyonesse, along with other lands so subjecting themselves to the Lyonian Government, are recognized in these pages.
In January of 2012, the Seneschals of Royal Tribes of Lyonesse met, proclaimed, and coronated, Mark Thomas Lothian Lane of the Royal Tribe of Lyonesse as HRH Lothian, Prince of Lyonesse, the Lir and Elder Isles, Head of the Commonwealth and Defender of the Realm.  Several months of organization went on, designing the Government, its leaders and on July 1, 2012, the Principality of Lyonesse proclaimed its independence as a Sovereign Nation.
On July 1st, 2022, HRH Lothian, Prince of Lyonesse abdicated the Lion Throne due to health reasons and his son, HRH Mark, Prince of Lyonesse became the Prince of Lyonessse.
