The paper was read at the Association’s July 21st, 1920 Totnes meeting. The first part of this informative paper traced the Saxon Conquest down to 710, when a substantial portion of Devon, perhaps one-fifth of its area, was in Saxon occupation. The present paper, Part II, is an eclectic smorgasbord in six sections focussing on: (a) Devon’s early inhabitants, (b) Devons ancient names; and (c) the phonology (sound-related relationships attending the name, (d) A Wessex chronology, (e) The wars of King Ine; and (f) The Charter of Athelhard.
