He was the son of [[Ceawlin of Wessex|King Ceawlin]]. As the son of a West Saxon king, he was the [[Crown Prince of Wessex]]. However, because Ceawlin was deposed by his nephew who was Cuthwine's cousin, [[Ceol of Wessex|Ceol]], Cuthwine never made it to the throne. Cuthwine and his father travelled all the way up to [[Dál Riata]] to live in exile as the king, [[Áedán mac Gabráin|Aedan]], offered them a place to live in the capital, [[Dunadd]]. The following year in 593, Ceawlin died. Cuthwine left Dál Riata and sailed all the way down to [[Kingdom of the Franks|France]] as he was offered a place in [[Paris]] by [[Chlothar II|King Chlothar II]]. Cuthwine continued to live in Paris for the rest of his life. He remained a strong leader of the Saxons and passing on the royal line through his three sons. In 635, Cuthwine died of a [[heart attack]] at the age of 70. His body was carried all the way back to his home in [[Wessex]]. Cuthwine's body was buried at [[Winchester Cathedral]]. {{bio-stub}} [[Category:565 births]] [[Category
