	EBK: Cynegils, King of Wessex
		Cynegils was the son of King Ceol of Wessex.
		It was sealed by the marriage of Cynegils' son, Cenwalh, to Penda's sister.
		Wessex was again defeated, at the Battle of Cirencester, and it may have been at this time that the western section of the Wansdyke was constructed to keep the enemy from expanding further.

	Encyclopedia :: encyclopedia : Egbert of Wessex (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		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.

	Britannia Biographies: St. Birinus, Bishop of Wessex
		Cynegils allowed Birinus to preach throughout his Kingdom, but it took a while before he himself was totally converted.
		Cynegils arranged negotiations at his palace in Easthampstead (Berkshire), and the King of Northumbria travelled down to meet him.
		Other churches in Wessex have a lesser claim to a Birinian foundation: St. Mary's, Reading (Berkshire); St. Helen's, Abingdon (Berkshire) and the parish church of Taplow (Buckinghamshire), where the saint is said to have bapised the local Saxons in Bapsey Pond.

		Birinus was given the ruined Roman garrison at Dorchester, and established his Cathedral and mission at a place already hallowed by the presence of great earthworks and processional trackways built by the ancients.

		The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle does not mention Ceolwulf's death, it simply states that in 611 Cynegils succeeded to Wessex, and notes that he was the son of Ceola, the son of Cutha, the son of Cynric.
		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.

	Birinius, our ‘local’ saint \| Thought for the Month
		The convert in question was king Cynegils of Wessex.
		The image of king Cynegils going down into the waters of the Thame and emerging a new man may picture for us not only a new start for the West Saxons of long ago, but for us, too.
		I believe Birinus was born in northern Europe and moved to Italy to train for the priesthood -- and that his name indicates a Germanic origin.
