| Notes |
- Ealdred Eadwulf of Northumbria 2nd Lord of Bamburgh was born circa 860.[1]
Ealdred was a ruler of Bamburgh, at least part of the former kingdom of Bernicia in northern Northumbria, in the early tenth century. He was the son of Eadwulf.
Ealdred was a witness to several of Æthelstan's charters issued in southern England in 931 or 932, but he was not recorded thereafter so it is to be assumed that he died circa 933.[2]
Research Notes
Ealdred may have been Eadwulf's oldest son and the one who succeeded his father upon his death in 913. Historian Benjamin Hudson, writing for the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, speculated that Ealdred was "probably the father of Oswulf I of Bamburgh, who later ruled over southern Northumbria under King Eadred (d. 955)."
However, according to a twelfth-century pedigree, a genealogy in the text De Northumbria post Britannos recording the ancestry of Waltheof Earl of Northampton (and, briefly, Northumbria), Oswulf's father was Eadwulf I Bamburgh. This would make Ealdred and Oswulf brothers, rather than father and son, the other siblings being Uhtred and Adulf McEtulfe.
Wikipedia: Osulf I of Bamburgh --Alleged son, "Osulf's origins are unclear. Some think he's son or a relative of Ealdred and his father Eadulf. Others say he might be Osulf Dux who witnessed charters in the 930s.
