Cuthwine of Wessex

Cuthwine, born c. 565, was a member of the House of Wessex, the son of King Ceawlin of Wessex.^[1] Cuthwine's father Ceawlin was deposed from the throne of Wessex in 592 by his nephew Ceol. Therefore, Cuthwine never inherited the throne. Cuthwine went into exile for many decades, remaining a strong leader of the Saxons and passing on the royal line through his three sons.
