Eadulf or Eadwulf Rus (fl. 1080) was an 11th-century Northumbrian noble. He was either the son or grandson of Gospatric (son of Uhtred the Bold), possibly the man who soon after Christmas 1064 was allegedly killed on behalf of Tostig, Earl of Northumbria. [1]

Morcar and his brother were not inclined to risk too much; they advanced with their men to ...
