This article is mostly fantasy, surely?
[edit]I keep wanting to find time to work on this article, but never manage it. So I'm just posting here to say that this article, despite citing secondary literature, is surely largely fantastical. The Prosopography of Anglo-Saxon England links given suggest that we have virtually no primary evidence for who Cuthwine was or what he did, and the Wikipedia article is presently a tapestry of the speculations of inventive modern scholars. Unless there are primary sources that I don't know about, this article needs to be reframed to say that virtually nothing is known about Cuthwine, and the rest needs to be re-presented as a historiography of the yarns modern scholars have spun around his name.
