  === Life Sketch ===
  Cutha also known as Cuthwulf was the son of Cynric, King of Wessex from 534 to 560, and brother of Ceawlin, King of Wessex from 560 to 592.
  
  Cutha is also known as Cutha I, Cuthwuf, Cutha ap Cynric, Cuthwulf ap Cynric.
  
  THERE WERE AT LEAST 3 CUTHAS
  HE IS NOT THE SAME AS CUTHA AP CEAWLIN WHO WAS THE SON OF CEAWLIN (AND THIS MANS NEPHEW) OR CUTHA AP CUTHWINE WHO WAS THE SON OF CUTHWINE (THEY DIED IN DIFFERENT YEARS) ALL ARE DESCENDANTS OF CERDIC AND THEREFORE 'CERDICING'
  
  Cutha's exact date of birth and the name of his mother are not known. He was likely born about 549 in Wessex, also known as Gewisse.
  
  The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, Florence of Worcester, and William of Malmesbury all identify Cutha/Cuthulf/Cuthwulf as the brother of King Ceawlin. The ASC records that "Ceawlin and Cutha" fought against "Æthelberht" King of Kent in 568 and "drove him into Kent", and "slew two princes Oslaf and Cnebba at Wibbandun". That in 571 Cutha fought against "the Britons" in at "Bedcanford" and captured four villages "Limbury, Aylesbury, Benson and Eynsham", but died in the same year.

  CUTHA [I] [Cuthwulf] (-[571]). The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle records that "Ceawlin and Cutha" fought against "Æthelberht" [King of Kent] in 568 and "drove him into Kent", and "slew two princes Oslaf and Cnebba at Wibbandun"[1289]. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle records that "Cutha" fought against "the Britons" in 571 at "Bedcanford" and captured four villages "Limbury, Aylesbury, Benson and Eynsham", but died in the same year, adding that he was the brother of "Ceawlin"[1290]. Another manuscript of the Chronicle records the same events in respect of "Cuthwulf" but do not record his relationship to Ceawlin[1291]. Florence of Worcester records the events naming "Regis Ceaulini frater Cuthulf"[1292]. William of Malmesbury names Cutha as the brother of King Ceawlin[1293]. Cutha [I] [Cuthwulf] was allegedly the ancestor of Æscwine King of Wessex (whose succession is recorded in in 674): the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle records that "Æscwine succeeded to the kingdom of Wessex" in 674, adding only in manuscript A that he was "the son of Cenfus, son of Cenfrith, son of Ceolwulf, son of Cynric, son of Cerdic"[1294]. This is one of the improbable descents referred to in the introduction to this chapter and may have been provided ex post facto to justify King Æscwine's right to succeed.
