[edit]From: http://homepages.tesco.net/~k.wasley/Earls_Dukes.htm\
"1328-1336 Edward II's son John of Eltham Earl of Cornwall. He was only a child at the time and could take little interest in his Cornish estates and castles, untenanted by any earl since the death of the great builder Edmund thirty years before, and now crumbling away. A host of officials under a steward, a most desirable office, administered the earldom, but at this time nobody seems to have paid much attention to the buildings. Tintagel's great hall was roofless and ruinous, and even Restormel was decaying. Though John Kendell was appointed its keeper for life with a salary of 3d a day and an annual robe."
Is this accurate?
