page 767 Earl Aldred was the father of five daughters, three of whom bore the same name, Aelfleda ; the fourth was called Aldgitha, and the fifth Etheldritha. One of these Aelfledas married earl Siward, by whom she became the mother of Waltheof ; and as this Aelfleda was countess, — being the daughter of earl Aldred, and he the son of earl Ucthred and the daughter of bishop Aldun, — she laid claim page 768 to these lands following, as belonging to her by hereditary right ; namely, Bemetun, Kymingeim, Eltun, Carltun, Heaclif, and He- seldene, which earl Siward her husband had given her ; and she gave to her son Waltheof the earldom of Northumberland, as it had been held by Waltheof s grandfather, earl Aldred. Upon the death of earl Siward and the countess Alfleda, the daughter of earl Aldred, a war broke out, in consequence of which that land was devastated. After a long time, that Arkil, the son of Ecgfrid, already mentioned, (who had taken to wife Sigrida, the daughter of Kilvert and of Ecgfrida* the daughter of bishop Aldun,) possessed himself of these lands, which had been thus devastated. and they settled upon them. Upon the death of his wife Sigrida, he save not only Heseldene to St. Cuthbert but also Heaclif and Cantun, which are still in the possession of the church. Arkil the son of Fridegist, and earl Eadulf, and Arkil the son of Ecgfrith, these three had Sigrida [to wife]. Afterwards, when king William came into England, this Arkil took to flight, and became a banished man; and thus for the second time this land continued devastated. After these occurrences, a certain thane of Yorkshire, called Orm, the son of Gamel, took to wife Etheldritha, one of the five daughters of earl Aldred ; and she bare to him a daughter named Ecg- frida who, by Eilsi of Tees, became the mother of Waltheof, and his two brothers, and Eda their sister. And as that Ecgfrida was descended from earl Aldred and the daughter of bishop Aldun, she — that is, Ecgfrida — and her husband Eilsi, took possession of Bermetun and Skimingheim by hereditary right.
