 Eanred of Northumbria - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
However, Roger of Wendover states that Eanred reigned from 810 until 840, whilst the twelfth century History of the Church of Durham records a reign of 33 years, and, given the turbulence of Northumbrian history in this period, a reign of this length suggests a figure of some significance.
Eanred was the son of King Eardwulf, who was deposed by an otherwise unknown Ælfwald in either 806 or 808.
However, Frankish sources claim that, after being expelled from England, Eardwulf was received by Charlemagne and then the pope, and that their envoys escorted him back to Northumbria and secured his restoration to power.

 The Heroic Age: An Appeal to Rome
Eardwulf's expulsion from Northumbria and his subsequent restoration were the key items of interest to the author of the Royal Frankish Annals, who does not relate the nature of the dispute that caused Eardwulf to appeal to Charlemagne, or the other individuals who may have been involved.
Leo's letter to Charlemagne indicated concern about Eardwulf's expulsion from Northumbria, and that Leo was equally troubled with Cenwulf's relationship to the Church of England, as indicated by his remark that Cenwulf was not at peace with either the Archbishop of Canterbury or the Archbishop of York.
