Eadwulf Evil-child
Eadwulf II (alternatively Eadulf, or occasionally Adulf), nicknamed Evil-child ( ang, Yfelcild), ( fl. AD 968–970) was ruler of Bamburgh in the late tenth century. Although Eadwulf is sometimes described as the Earl of Northumbria, he ruled only a northern portion of Northumbria, a polity centred on Bamburgh that once stretched from the Firth of Forth to the River Tees. Name and family The name ''evil-child'' itself is derived from the Old English words and . The nickname may have been constructed in apposition to the forename: 'happy wolf, evil child'. The details of Eadwulf's early life are not known except that his surname ''evil-child'' may indicate that he was a wild youth, with "evil-child" being equivalent to "bad boy" in modern English. Alternatively, as , when used as a cognomen, was an Old English title borne by some Anglo-Saxon nobles to denote a man of high rank, it may be the case that Eadwulf acquired the name simply because he was a nobleman of bad character ...

Eadwulf II Of Northumbria
Eadwulf or Eadulf (died 913) was ruler of Bamburgh in the early tenth century. A genealogy in the twelfth-century text ''De Northumbria post Britannos'' recording the ancestry of Waltheof Earl of Northampton (and, briefly, Northumbria), makes Eadwulf the son of Æthelthryth daughter of Ælla, King of Northumbria, but no source names Eadwulf's own father. One of the few things that can be said with reasonable certainty of Eadwulf is that he died in 913 in Northumbria, an event recorded by the chronicle of Æthelweard and by the Irish ''Annals of Ulster'' and ''Annals of Clonmacnoise''. The Irish sources call him "king of the Northern English" while Æthelweard says Eadwulf "ruled as ossibly 'reeve'of the town called Bamburgh". The ''Historia de Sancto Cuthberto'' states that Eadwulf had been a favourite () of King Alfred the Great. Historians have traditionally followed Æthelweard and portrayed Eadwulf as ruler of only the northern part of Northumbria, perhaps corresponding t ...

Eadulf III Of Bernicia
Eadulf IV or Eadwulf IV (died 1041) was the Rulers of Bamburgh, earl of Bernicia from 1038 until his death. He was a son of Uhtred the Bold and his second wife Sige, daughter of Styr Ulfsson. Eadwulf had one full sibling, a younger brother Gospatric. He succeeded his older half-brother Ealdred, Earl of Bernicia, Ealdred, who was murdered by the son of Thurbrand the Hold in a bloodfeud started when Thurbrand the Hold, Thurbrand murdered Uhtred. The ''Anglo-Saxon Chronicle'' asserts that in 1041 Eadwulf was "betrayed" by King Harthacnut. The "betrayal" seems to have been carried out by Siward, Earl of Northumbria; When the ''Libellus de Exordio'' and other sources write about the same event, they say that Siward attacked and killed Eadulf.Rollason (ed.), ''Libellus de Exordio'', pp. 170–71 Siward then became earl of all Northumbria, perhaps the first person to do so since Uhtred the Bold. Eadulf was the last of the ancient Bernician line of earls to rule, until his son Osulf II of B ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Eadwulf I Of Northumbria
Eadwulf (died AD 717) was king of Northumbria from the death of Aldfrith of Northumbria, Aldfrith in December 704 until February or March of 705, when Aldfrith's son Osred I of Northumbria, Osred was restored to the throne. Osred was a child when his father died, and it is assumed that Eadwulf usurped the throne. Eadwulf's relationship, if any, to the ruling dynasty, descendants of Ida of Bernicia, Ida, is not known, but it is quite possible that he was indeed of royal descent as two or more other branches of the Eoppingas are found as kings of Northumbria after the extinction of the main line. Initially Eadwulf appears to have had the support of ealdorman Berhtfrith son of Berhtred, presumed to be the lord of the north-east frontier of Bernicia, in Lothian and along the River Forth, Forth. However, a crisis soon arose. Bishop Wilfrid, exiled by Aldfrith, wished to return to Northumbria. Eadwulf aimed to keep the bishop an exile, but Berhtfirth appears to have supported Wilfrid's ...

Eadwulf Of Lindsey
__NOTOC__ Eadwulf ( fl. 796 - between 836 and 839) was a medieval Bishop of Lindsey. Eadwulf was consecrated in 796. He died between 836 and 839. His profession of obedience to Æthelhard, the Archbishop of Canterbury, is the first surviving profession to Canterbury. It notes that he had been a pupil of Æthelhard, and is undated. The actual document names Eadwulf as Bishop of York, which indicates that at some point the document was altered, probably after the Norman Conquest of England, as part of the Canterbury-York dispute over the primacy of Britain. The rest of the profession appears genuine, however. In his signing an act of the Councils of Clovesho in 803, Eadwulf gives his name and title as ''Eadwulf Syddensis civitatis episcopus'' and the location of the former Roman city (''civitatis'') of ''Syddensis'', or ''Sidnacester'', has been greatly debated. In 1695, Edmund Gibson placed it at Stow, other proposals have been Caistor, Louth and Horncastle. The location remai ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Eadwulf Cudel Of Bernicia
Eadwulf III of Bamburgh or Eadwulf Cudel or Cutel (meaning cuttlefish) (died early 1020s) was ruler of Bamburgh for some period in the early eleventh century. Following the successful takeover of York by the Vikings in 866/7, southern Northumbria became part of the Danelaw, but in the north English rulers held on from a base at Bamburgh. They were variously described as kings, earls, princes or high-reeves, and their independence from the kings of England and Scotland is uncertain. Uhtred the Bold and Eadwulf Cudel were sons of Waltheof, ruler of Bamburgh, who died in 1006. He was succeeded by Uhtred, who was appointed by Æthelred the Unready as earl in York, with responsibility for the whole of Northumbria. Uhtred was murdered in 1016, and king Cnut then appointed Erik, son of Hakon, earl at York, while Eadwulf succeeded at Bamburgh. In 1018, the Northumbrians of Bamburgh were defeated by Malcolm II of Scotland in the Battle of Carham. In one twelfth-century Durham source, ''De ...

Supposed epitaph The Devon historian John Prince (d. 1723) recorded a Latin inscription in verse said to have been engraved on the ledger-stone in Crediton Church of one of the early Bishops of Crediton, he suggested possibly that of Bishop "Eadulph died 932" (''sic''). The inscription survives in almost identical wording on the monumental brass of Giles Daubeney, 6th Baron Daubeney (1393–1445/46) in South Petherton Church, Somerset. Also the first two lines of it were requested by the will dated about 1500 of a member of the Wilmer family of East Leigh in North Devon, to be inscribed on a monumental ...

Anglo-Saxons
The Anglo-Saxons were a Cultural identity, cultural group who inhabited England in the Early Middle Ages. They traced their origins to settlers who came to Britain from mainland Europe in the 5th century. However, the ethnogenesis of the Anglo-Saxons happened within Britain, and the identity was not merely imported. Anglo-Saxon identity arose from interaction between incoming groups from several Germanic peoples, Germanic tribes, both amongst themselves, and with Celtic Britons, indigenous Britons. Many of the natives, over time, adopted Anglo-Saxon culture and language and were assimilated. The Anglo-Saxons established the concept, and the Kingdom of England, Kingdom, of England, and though the modern English language owes somewhat less than 26% of its words to their language, this includes the vast majority of words used in everyday speech. Historically, the Anglo-Saxon period denotes the period in Britain between about 450 and 1066, after Anglo-Saxon settlement of Britain, th ...
