CEAWLIN (d. 593)

This article appears in Volume V05, Page 592 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CAU-CHA
CEAWLIN (d. 593) , king of the West
Saxons
 , first mentioned in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle under the date 556 as fighting with his father Cynric against the Britons at the battle of Beranbyrig or Barbury Hill. Becoming king in 56o, he began a career of conquest. Silchester was taken, and moving eastwards Ceawlin and his brother Cutha defeated the forces of 2Ethelberht, king of Kent, at the battle of Wibbandun in 568. In 577 he led the West
Saxons
  from Winchester towards the Severn valley; gained an important victory over some British kings at Deorham, and added the
district
  round ,
Gloucester
 , Bath and Cirencester to his kingdom. A further advance was begun in 583. Uriconium, a town near the Wrekin, and Pengwyrn, the
modern
  Shrewsbury, were destroyed; but soon Ceawlin was defeated by the Britonsat Fethanleag or Faddiley, near Nantwich, and his progress wag effectually checked.
Intestine
  strife among the West Saxons followed. In 591 Ceawlin lost the western
part
  of his kingdom, and in 592 was defeated by his nephew, Ceolric, at Wanborough, and driven from Wessex. He was killed in 593, possibly in an attempt to regain his kingdom. Ceawlin is included in the Chronicle among the Bretwaldas.
See Two of the Saxon Chronicles, ed. by C. Plummer (
Oxford
 , 1892); Dictionary of National
Biography
 , vol. ix (London, 1887) ; E. Guest, Origins Celticae, vol. ii. (London, 1883).
