Uhtred of Bamburgh (Uhtred the Bold—sometimes Uchtred; died ca. 1016), was ruler of Bamburgh and from 1006 to 1016 the ealdorman of Northumbria. He was the son of Waltheof I , ruler of Bamburgh (Bebbanburg) , whose family the Eadwulfingas had ruled the surrounding region for over a century.
He is a northerner with the title of 'earl', but it is uncertain if he was ruler of Bamburgh or related to the Eadwulfing line of Bamburgh rulers. [13] Eadred: fl. c. 1000 Another northerner with the title of 'earl', but it is uncertain if he was ruler of Bamburgh or related to the Eadwulfing line of Bamburgh rulers. [13] Uhtred: fl. 1009–16
In 1006 Uhtred the Bold, ruler of Bamburgh, by command of Æthelred the Unready became ealdorman in the south, temporarily re-uniting much of the area of Northumbria into a single jurisdiction. Uhtred was murdered in 1016, and Cnut then appointed Eric of Hlathir ealdorman at York, but Uhtred's dynasty held onto Bamburgh.
The site of Bamburgh Castle, centre of Uhtred's home dominion. The fullest list of participants comes from Historia Regum and related Anglo-Latin annals that name not only 'Uhtred son of Waltheof' as leader of the 'English' (Angli) and Malcolm leader of the Scots, but also Eugenius Calvus, Owen the Bald, 'king of the Clyde-folk' (rex Clutinensium).
Uhtred's victory brought him to Æthelred's attention, and the king recognised him as earl, despite the fact Waltheof seems to have still lived. Æthelred also granted Uhtred the earldom of York upon Ælfhelm's death, uniting the lands of Northumbria under Uhtred's rule.
Ealdred was a witness to several of Æthelstan's charters issued in southern England in 931 or 932. Benjamin Hudson states that he was not recorded thereafter, and probably died in 933, [3] but the Annals of Clonmacnoise record in 934 that "Adulf m'Etulfe king of the North Saxons died", and Alex Woolf suggests that this may be the only notice of Ealdred's death.
After Æthelstan's death in 939, the men of York immediately chose the Viking king of Dublin, Olaf Guthfrithson (or his cousin, Anlaf Cuaran [a]), as their king and the Anglo-Saxon control of the north collapsed. 941–943/944 [11]: 181–2 Olaf Sihtricson: Possibly Olaf Sihtricson Olaf Sihtricson was also known as Amlaíb Cuarán c. 942: Sitric II
