     And when Bloodheart dies, who will the warleaders of the northcountry remember? The ones who raid and burn in the southlands, far away from the homelands? Or the one who drove. The Hand of the Lady.

   • 2012, Mike Ashley, The Mammoth Book of British Kings and Queens, Robinson, →ISBN:

     John Morris has suggested that both Cuthwine and Cuthwulf were warleaders of the Eslingas, a tribe of Saxons who operated in the territory around Bedford and Buckinghamshire, and were not related to Ceawlin.

   • 2005, Christopher Gidlow, Reign of Arthur: From History to Legend, The History Press, →ISBN:

     Modern sceptical historians are happy to write Dark Age history without naming kings and warleaders of the period, and it seems quite unjustified to take Gildas to task for doing the same thing.
