Uchtred 2 then married Sigen 1, daughter of Styrr 1, sonof Ulf 4. The marriage was contracted on the understanding that Uchtred 2 would kill Styrr 1's enemy Thurbrand 2. : SymeonofDurham.DeObsessioneDunelmi 2(216) Appointment of eorl (1) Uchtred 2.made earl: When king Æthelred 32 heard of Uchtred 2's victory over the Scots, he summoned the young man, which was still during his father Waltheof 4's lifetime, and granted him the earldom of his father, adding thereto the earldom of York. : SymeonofDurham.DeObsessioneDunelmi 1(216) Birth (1) Uchtred 2.third marriage: When Uchtred 2 made additional progress in military affairs, king Æthelred 32 gave him his own daughter Ælfgifu 25 in marriage.

At this time bishop Ealdhun 6 held the government there, for Waltheof 4, earlof Northumbria, had shut himself up in Bamburgh. His son Uchtred 2, a youth of great energy and well skilled in military affairs, collected a considerable number of the men of Northumbria and Yorkshire and defeated the Scots. The king himself and a few other escaped with difficulties. Uchtred 2 commanded to have the best-looking heads of the slain carried to Durham, washed by four women [Anonymi 10054] (to each of whom he gave a cow for her trouble) and placed around the city wall on stakes. : SymeonofDurham.DeObsessioneDunelmi 1(215-6) (1006) Conquest (1) Swein 1-Cnut 3.conquest of England: Swein 1, the king of the Danes, having driven Æthelred 32, the king of the English, into Normandy, took possession of his realm; but upon his death, which occurred no long time afterwards, king Æthelred 32 returned to his own kingdom, having taken to wife Emma 2, the daughter of Richard 1, the duke of the Normans. Only a very short time had elapsed, when Cnut 3, the son of Swein 1, the king of the Danes, came to England, accompanied by a countless multitude, meaning toreign over it. He sent a message to Uchtred 2, asking him to join him, along with all the men whom he could muster, to render him assistance against king Æthelred 32, promising him that, in the event of his compliance, not only should he retain possession of the honour which he then held, but that something yet more extensive should be added. This earl was a man of considerable influence, for he had under him the counties of Northumberland and York. Uchtred 2, however, answered that he would do nothing of the sort, and declared that it would be the death of baseness were he to act thus against his lord and father-in-law. Thus Cnut 3 had no assistance from Uchtred 2. : |
