Ceolwulf of Wessex
Ceolwulf (died c. 611) was a King of Wessex. At that early date the West Saxons were called the Gewisse, and in his ''Dictionary of National Biography'' entry he is given the title "king of the Gewisse".〔 According to the ''Anglo-Saxon Chronicle'' he reigned from 597 to 611 and the Annals of St Neots also allot him fourteen years. The West Saxon Genealogical Regnal List gives him a reign of seventeen years, but in the view of Barbara Yorke this is probably an error.〔Kirby, p. 46; Yorke, 'Ceolwulf'〕
He was the son of Cutha or Cuthwulf and the grandson of Cynric, and succeeded his brother Ceol. According to the ''Chronicle'' he was a powerful ruler who "continually fought and contended either against the English, or the Britons, or the Picts, or the Scots", but it is unlikely that he fought against the Picts or the Scots. His only recorded battle was against the South Saxons in 607, probably for control of the Isle of Wight and south Hampshire, but he probably laid the foundations for West Saxon expansion against the British and Saxon peoples of the south and west. He may have begun to construct a regional overlordship among the groups who comprised the West Saxons.〔Yorke, Ceolwulf; Kirby, p. 46〕
It is not certain whether his successor, Cynegils, was his son or the son of his brother Ceol.〔Kirby, p. 43; Yorke, ''Kings and Kingdoms'', pp. 134–135〕
