  Cwichelm of Wessex - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cwichelm (died 636) was the son of Cynegils of Wessex, the King of Wessex, and shared power with him from the mid-620s until his death, perhaps ruling Upper Wessex.
Cwichelm was with his father at the Battle of Bindon when they invaded Dumnonia in 611 and again fought alongside him against the Welsh in 614 at Brampton.
Cwichelm later fought, again alongside his father, against Penda of Mercia at the Battle of Cirencester.

 Category:West Saxon monarchs - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a category for monarchs of the Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Wessex.
The question of who qualifies as a monarch of Wessex is sometimes a difficult question to answer.
One approach is to say that no monarchs after Ælfred should be included, since from that time forward Wessex ceased to exist as a separate political entity.

 Encyclopedia :: encyclopedia : Egbert of Wessex   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
Under Egbert, Wessex rose to become the most powerful of the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms, overthrowing the supremacy of Mercia.
The father of Egbert was called Ealhmund, and we find an Ealhmund, king in Kent, mentioned in a charter dated 784, who is identified with Egbert's father in a late addition to the Chronicle under the date 784.
He spent this exile with the Franks on the continent, and although it is said to have lasted three years, some historians have suggested that this period may have actually lasted thirteen years (789–802), as this would account for Egbert's whereabouts during the whole period preceding Beorhtric's death.

He and Cwichelm (his son) defeated the British at Beandun (unidentified) in 614, and were defeated by Penda of Mercia at Cirencester in 628.
Bede records that Cwichelm sent an assassin to kill Edwin of Northumbria, and in revenge Edwin sent an army into Wessex (see entry on c.626), but later Edwin's successor Oswald became Cynegils's godparent, and also married Cynegils's daughter Cyneburh (see entry on 635).
He defeated Cynegils and Cwichelm of Wessex in 628 at Cirencester, probably establishing his overlordship over the Hwicce at that point, and possibly forcing Cynegils's son Cenwealh to marry his sister.
