 Cwenthryth 1.murder of Cynehelm 1: At the age of seven Cynehelm 1 had been left by his father Cenwulf 3 to be brought up by his sister Cwenthryth 1. In her greed, she entertained the illusory hope of the throne, and assigned the job of eliminating her little brother to the retainer who looked after him [Anonymous 10084]. He took the innocent child off on the pretence of a hunt, killed him, and hid him in some bushes. A crime so well concealed in England became, by the will of God, public knowledge in Rome through a piece of parchment with the story written out in English, carried by a dove and laid on the altar of St Peter's. After it was interpreted by an Englishman [Anonymous 10085], a letter was sent telling English kings of an English martyr. So in the presence of a great company the child's body was raised up and brought to Winchcombe, accompanied by sonorous chanting of the clerics. The murderess that time was chanting the psalm 'God my praise', going through it backwards to undermine the pleasure of the singers. But then by God's power the witch's eyes were torn out from her hollow sockets. : WilliamofMalmesbury.GestaPontificumAnglorum  iv.156.3-4
