  1. Rędwulf of Northumbria

    R dwulf was king of Northumbria for a short time. His descent is not known, but it is possible that he was a kinsman of Osberht of Northumbria Osberht and lla of Northumbria lla . R dwulf became king when thelred II of Northumbria thelred son of Eanred of Northumbria Eanred was deposed. Coins from his reign are known, but other than the report in the Roger of Wendover s Flores Historiarum of his death fighting pagans i.e. Vikings , nothing more is recorded of him. Roger of Wendover dates this reign to 844, but his dates are known to be unreliable. The recent discovery of a coin of King Eanred, dated on stylistic grounds to circa 850, led to a reappraisal of the reigns of Northumbrian rulers in the 9th century. As a result, R dwulf s reign is now thought to have been circa 858 rather than 844. The numismatic and written evidence agrees that thelred was restored to the kingship after R dwulf s death.

  1. Osric of Northumbria

    Osric was king of Northumbria from the death of Coenred of Northumbria Coenred in 718 until his death on the 9th of May, 729. Symeon of Durham calls him a son of Aldfrith of Northumbria , which would make him a brother, or perhaps a half brother, of Osred I of Northumbria Osred . Alternatively, he may have been a son of King Eahlfrith of Deira , and thus a first cousin of Osred. Bede reports little of Osric s reign, but records that comets were seen at his death, a sign of ill omen. William of Malmesbury praises Osric for his decision to adopt Ceolwulf of Northumbria Ceolwulf , brother of Coenred, as his heir. Further reading Higham, N.J., The Kingdom of Northumbria AD 350 1100.

This dynasty held onto Bernicia until 1041, but from 1016 there were other earls in York who were appointed by King Canute the Great over all Northumbria.

He was described as a member of the Leodwaldings , a kindred descended from Ocg son of Ida of Bernicia , and was the first of the family to rule Northumbria . William of Malmesbury calls him a draught from the same cup as Osred, which is to say a young man, vigorous, dissolute, cruel and bold. The manner of his death is unknown. He was succeeded by Osric of Northumbria Osric , brother, or half brother, of Osred. Coenred s brother Ceolwulf of Northumbria Ceolwulf became king after Osric.

He became king after Ecgberht I of Northumbria Ecgberht I was overthrown and fled, with Wulfhere of York Wulfhere , Archbishop of York , to Mercia . Ricsige appears not to have been the nominee or client of the Vikings of the Great Heathen Army , and the Anglo Saxon Chronicle reports that the Great Army came north in 873 or 874. Halfdan Ragnarsson appears to have retaken southern Northumbria for the Danes, corresponding with the old Kingdom of Deira kingdom Deira , or the Viking kingdom of J rv k , between the Humber and the River Tees Tees . Ricsige or his successor Ecgberht II of Northumbria Ecgberht II remained in control of Bernicia , between the Tees and the River Forth Forth .

    No footnotes date June 2010 Ceolwulf was king of Northumbria from 729 until 737, except for a short period in 731 or 732 when he was deposed, and quickly restored to power. Ceolwulf finally abdicated and entered the monastery at Lindisfarne . He was the most glorious king to whom Bede dedicated his Historia ecclesiastica gentis Anglorum . He was adopted as heir by his predecessor, and distant cousin, Osric of Northumbria Osric . Ceolwulf was brother of Coenred of Northumbria Coenred and was the second of the Leodwaldings to rule Northumbria . With the extinction of the main line of the Eoppingas at the death of Osric or, if Osric was not in fact of the direct line, even earlier, in 716, at the death of Osred I of Northumbria Osred son of Aldfrith of Northumbria Aldfrith , the kingdom of Northumbria entered into a long period of dynastic conflict and instability, which was only ended by the destruction of the kingdom by the Vikings in 867. As with Aldfrith, the Irish annals give Ceolwulf an Irish name, E chaid son of Cuidin , and if Cuidin is a calque of Cuthwine, E chaid is no more obviously related to Ceolwulf than Flann is to Aldfrith.

  1. Osbald of Northumbria

    Osbald was a king of Northumbria during 796. He was a friend of Alcuin , a monk from York who often sent him letters of advice. Osbald was a violent man and most likely a murderer as modern records suggest. On the 9th January AD 780, he killed Bearn, the son of King lfwald I of Northumbria lfwald by burning him to death at Selectune possibly Silton, North Yorkshire . ref CathEncy wstitle Osbald ref In 793 Alcuin wrote two letters to Osbald urging him to give up his extravagant way of life. He criticised his greedy behaviour, luxurious dress and his pagan hair style. He warned him to devote himself to God because Luxury in princes means poverty for the people . Osbald became king of Northumbria in 796 at a time when it was dissolving into anarchy. He ruled for 27 days before being abandoned by the royal household and deserted by the people. He went into exile in Lindisfarne . Here Alcuin wrote Osbald a letter urging him to become a monk. After Osbald s refusal Alcuin sent another letter. It read My dear friend Osbald I am disappointed in you for not taking my advice. I urged you in my letter that you should give up this way of life. Do not add sin to sin by ruining your country and shedding blood. Think how much blood of kings, princes, and people has been shed through you and your family. Shortly afterwards, Osbald sailed to Picts Pictland with his companions, where he was given refuge by Caustant n of the Picts Caustant n , King of the Picts .

  1. Ealdred of Northumbria

    Ealdred was the son of Eadwulf of Bernicia Eadwulf . He was a ruler or nobleman in Northumbria in the early tenth century. Ealdred s father, called king of the Saxons of the North by the Annals of Ulster , but only Reeve England reeve of Bamburgh by the chronicler thelweard historian , died in 913. He may have been ruler of Northumbria following Eowils and Halfdan who were killed at Tettenhall circa 910. It is unknown whether the family had links to pre or post Viking kings of Northumbria . The Historia de Sancto Cuthberto states that Ealdred was a friend of King Edward the Elder , as his father had been a favourite of King Alfred the Great . Ealdred was driven from his lands, whether all of Northumbria or merely the northern part which had once been Bernicia is debated, by Ragnall ua mair , either in or before 914, or alternatively as late as 918. The Historia states that Ealdred sought refuge with Constant n mac eda , the king of Alba , and that the two fought Ragnall at the battle of Corbridge , dated by the Annals of Ulster and the Chronicle of the Kings of Alba to 918. The battle appears to have been indecisive and Ragnall remained the master of at least southern Northumbria, former Deira , or perhaps of all. In 920 the sons of Eadwulf were among those who met with Edward the Elder and, in the words of the Anglo Saxon Chronicle , chose him as father and lord . Ealdred is named as one of those present at Eamont Bridge on 12 July 927 when Edward s son thelstan met with the northern British kings. While Ealdred is nowhere certainly recorded after 927, it may be that the Annals of Clonmacnoise report his death as Adulf mcEtulfe, king of the North Saxons circa 934, although this may be another of Eadwulf s sons.

  1. Ecgfrith of Northumbria

    King Ecgfrith lang ang Ecgfri c. 645 May 20, 685 was the List of monarchs of Northumbria King of Northumbria from 670 until his death. He ruled over Northumbria when it was at the height of its power, but his reign ended with a disastrous defeat in which he lost his life. Early life Ecgfrith was the son of his predecessor as king, Oswiu of Northumbria . Bede tells us, in his Historia ecclesiastica gentis Anglorum , that Ecgfrith was held as a hostage at the court of Queen Cynwise in the province of the Mercia ns at the time of Penda of Mercia s invasion of Northumbria in 654 or 655. Penda was, however, defeated and killed by the Northumbrians under Oswiu in the Battle of Winwaed , a victory which greatly enhanced Northumbrian power. King Ecgfrith was made king of Deira kingdom Deira , a sub kingdom of Northumbria, in 664, and he became king of Northumbria following his father s death on February 15, 670. He had married thelthryth , the daughter of Anna of East Anglia , in 660 however, she took the veil shortly after Ecgfrith s accession, a step which possibly led to his long quarrel with Wilfrid, the Archbishop of York . Ecgfrith married a second wife, Eormenburg, before 678, the year in which he expelled Wilfrid from his kingdom.
