Guoremor, King of Dumnonia
(born c.AD 358)
Alternate spellings: Welsh-Gwrfawr, Latin-Vorimorus, English-Vorimer, Guoremor
Guoremor succeeded his father, Gadeon , probably as a major landowner in the Civitas Dumnoniorum. He may have also held a high rank in the Roman administration of the area. He was probably the first of his family to take advantage of the withdrawal of Imperial troops from Britain and raise himself to the Kingship of Dumnonia. He will have died about AD 415.

- (Research):Before the arrival of the Romans, the Dumnonii seem to have inhabited the southwest peninsula of Britain as far east as the River Parrett in Somerset and the River Axe in Dorset, judging by the coin distributions of the Dobunni and Durotriges . [5] In the Roman period there was a provincial boundary between the area governed from Exeter and those governed from Dorchester and Ilchester .
In the post Roman period the eastern boundary of Dumnonia is unclear. The boundary may have been formed by the West Wansdyke , Selwood Forest and Bokerly Dyke . Thus Dumnonia would have included later Cornwall, Devon, west Somerset and possibly parts of modern Dorset on the eastern border of the Durotriges kingdom. If so Dumnonia would have included places such as Glastonbury and South Cadbury . With the expansion of Wessex, the boundary was gradually pushed westward, see below.
