- Antiqua maneria
The Antiqua maneria were the original 17 manors belonging to the Earldom of Cornwall.
After March 1337 these manors passed to the new
Duchy of Cornwall which was created by King Edward III to give financial support to his son Edward, theBlack Prince (1330 - 1376).The graph below shows the 17 Antiqua maneria including the number and status of Customary tenants in the early fourteenth century.
