Cwichelm was with his father at the Battle of Bindon when they invaded Dumnonia in 611 and again fought alongside him against the Welsh in 614 at Brampton.

The assassination attempt failed, leading Edwin to march on Wessex, whereupon he won the Battle of Win Hill and Lose Hill. Cwichelm later fought, again alongside his father, against Penda of Mercia at the Battle of Cirencester.
