In the English language cunt did not become an "obscene" word until after the 1200s. We have to ask why this perfectly good word, which had been openly used for centuries, was made into a "bad" word at that time. Was there some agenda at play?

Agreed. Both Cunt and Fuck are not slang at all, perfectly sound words for what they denote, going back to Anglo-Saxon.
