Notes


ÆTHELRED (-killed [848]). Roger of Wendover records the death in 840 of "rege Northanhumbrorum Andredo" and the succession of "Athelredus filius eius" who reigned for seven years[1115]. He succeeded his father in 840 as ÆTHELRED II King of Northumbria. Roger of Wendover records that "rex Northanhumbrorum Athelredus" fled in 844 and was replaced by "Readwlfus", but that the latter was killed in battle "apud Alutthelia" with "consul Alfredus" whereupon Æthelred was restored[1116]. Roger of Wendover records that "Athelredo rege Northanhumbrorum" was killed in 848 and succeeded by "Osbertus" who reigned for eighteen years[1117]. Two brothers, parents not known: 1. OSBERHT (-killed in battle York 21 Mar 867). Roger of Wendover records that "Athelredo rege Northanhumbrorum" was killed in 848 and succeeded by "Osbertus" who reigned for eighteen years[1122]. He succeeded in 848 as OSBERHT King of Northumbria. He was deposed 862 in favour of Ælla, but combined with him to recapture York in early 867. He was killed during the attack. 2. ÆLLA (-killed in battle York 21 Mar 867). He succeeded in 862 as ÆLLA King of Northumbria. Roger of Wendover names (in order) "…Osbertus, Ella…" in his list of kings of Northumbria[1123]. The Danes occupied York 1 Nov 866, resisting a Northumbrian counter-attack 21 Mar 867 in which both Ælla and Osberht his predecessor were killed. ECGBERHT, son of --- (-873). Roger of Hoveden records that he was established in 867 as ECGBERHT tributary King of Northumbria by the Danes[1124]. The same source records that the Northumbrians expelled him in 872[1125].
