In 642, presumably on his death, Cynegils was succeeded by another son, Cenwealh.
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.
Bede notes that Penda's sister was married to Cenwealh, the son of Cynegils (HE, iii.7); since Cenwealh later repudiated his wife (see entry on 645), it may be that the match was forced upon him.
