Cuthwine was a member of the House of Wessex, son of Ceawlin of Wessex. After the deposition of his father Ceawlin from the throne of Wessex in 592 he did not inherit the throne which passed to his cousin, Ceol.
Little more of Cuthwine is known, but it is known that he had three sons; Cynebald, born c. 585; Cedda, born c. 590, and Cutha Cathwulf, born c. 592. Through Cutha Cathwulf were ultimately descended the Kings of Wessex after the line of Ceol became extinct in 672.
