	Anglo-Saxons.net : Timeline: 676-688
		Aldhelm, in the third of his Carmina Ecclesiastica (poems on the dedications of churches), states that Centwine ruled the kingdom (imperium) of the Saxons and won three great battles, that he was a pagan until the end of his reign, and that he finished by becoming a monk.
		Centwine's paganism neatly explains why he does not witness the proceedings of Theodore's Synod of Hatfield in 679, along with the kings of the Northumbrians, the Mercians, the East Angles and the people of Kent.
		It may be that Cædwalla was disappointed that Cenwealh did not confirm him in his father's position, and so finally contested with Cenwealh's brother Centwine for the kingship; perhaps Centwine was forced into a monastery after this struggle and did not retire voluntarily (see entry on 676).

		Centwine as a first name gives you a very independent nature, yet you are friendly, approachable, and generous.
		Though the name Centwine creates the urge to be creative and original, we stress through a scattered and emotional nature, you suffer frustration.
		This name, when combined with the last name, can frustrate happiness, contentment, and success, as well as cause health weaknesses in the liver, bloodstream, and in tension or accidents to the head.

		However, since Cædwalla was in exile in the years before his accession (HE, iv.14), it may be that Bede's report of ineffective sub-kings reflects Cædwalla's verdict on his predecessors rather than the state of affairs in 672-85.
		The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle has Cenwealh dying in 672, his queen Seaxburh reigning for a year after him, Æscwine succeeding in 674, and Centwine succeeding in 676.
		There is no record of what happened to Seaxburh after her year in power, nor is it clear whether the apparent gap between Seaxburh's reign and Æscwine's accession is deliberate or simply mechanical error.

		The reputed genealogy of the Gewissan royal kin-group, has kings whose names are mostly of clear of Celtic origin.
		Cerdic (the first king of Wessex, whose life was fictionalised by Alfred Duggan in his novel The Conscience Of The King) is an anglicised form of Caradoc, and the names Cynric, Centwine, Caedwalla, are all Celtic.
		If these were not actually Britons, there had clearly been significant levels of inter-marriage.

	The Heroic Age: Saxon Bishop and Celtic King Notes and Bibliography
		For instance, prior to the entry for 710, the last actual engagement with Britons referred to in the Chronicle is the non-specific entry for 682, in which Centwine is said to have 'put the Britons to flight as far as the sea' (Swanton 2000: 38-9).
		This is the only battle recorded for Centwine in the Chronicle.
		Given that Aldhelm was abbot of Malmesbury at the time, he is arguably a better witness for Centwine than the authors of the Chronicle.

	Kings of Wessex (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		It is likely that Ine came from rather further west than Cadwalla, and this might explain his preoccupation with western affairs.
		During the seventh century, and especially in the reigns of Cenwalh (643-74) and Centwine (676-85), the kingdom of Wessex had been expanding westwards at the expense of the Britons of Dumnonia.
		Although the process cannot be traced in confident detail it is likely that by about 700 much of Devon was under West Saxon domination.
