Siege of Cornwall

The Siege of Cornwall was a battle that took place in 788 BC between the Kingdom of Cornwall and the Giant Kingdom and was part of the Giant Wars.

Determined to erase the humans from the British Isles, the giant leader Gogmagog cut off all trade and supplies to the Kingdom of Cornwall. Despite his best efforts, however, his armies were decimated by the arrival of Brutus and his band of Trojans. The timely arrival of the Europeans allowed the Cornish forces to push the giants back and successfully defend their territory.

The siege was a massive defeat for the giants and ushered in the beginning of an alliance between Brutus' forces and the Cornish king Corineus as reward for rescuing Cornwall.
