After Oswine of Deira was killed by King Oswiu of Northumbria in 651, Aethelwald became king.
In 652 or 653, he allied himself with Oswiu's enemy, Penda of Mercia, and according to Bede, he acted as Penda's guide during the latter's invasion of Northumbria in 655.
Although he allied himself with the pagan Penda, Aethelwald was nevertheless a pious Christian and was remembered for his generosity towards St Chad, to whom he granted land for a monastery.

Bernicia and Deira were first united by Aethelfrith, a king of Bernicia who conquered Deira around the year 604.
He was, however, himself defeated by an alliance of the exiled king of Gwynedd, Cadwallon ap Cadfan and Penda, king of Mercia, at the Battle of Hatfield Chase in 633.
In 655, Penda launched a massive invasion of Northumbria, aided by the sub-king of Deira, Aethelwald, but suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of an inferior force under Oswiu, Oswald's successor, at the Battle of Winwaed.

 Penda of Mercia - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
Northumbria was greatly weakened as a consequence of the battle; the kingdom became fractured to some degree between Deira in its southern part and Bernicia in the north, with the Deirans acquiring a king of their own, Oswine, while in Bernicia, Oswald was succeeded by his brother, Oswiu.
Penda also enjoyed the support of Aethelwald, the king of Deira and the successor of Oswine, who had been murdered on Oswiu's orders in 651; Bede says Aethelwald acted as Penda's guide during his invasion.
There is a passage in Bede's Ecclesiastical History that suggests Aethelhere of East Anglia was the cause of the war, but it has been argued that an issue of punctuation in later manuscripts confused Bede's meaning on this point, and that he in fact meant to refer to Penda as being responsible for the war.

In alliance with Cadwallon ap Cadfan of Gwynedd he had defeated and killed Edwin of Northumbria at Hatfield Chase in 633, and subsequently he defeated and killed Oswald of Northumbria at the Battle of Maserfield in 642.
According to Bede, before the battle Oswiu prayed to God and promised to make his daughter a nun and grant twelve estates for the construction of monasteries if he was victorious.
According to the Historia Brittonum, Penda's ally Cadafael ap Cynfeddw of Gwynedd (thereafter remembered as "Cadomedd" (="battle-shirker") abandoned him, along with his army, and Bede says that Aethelwald of Deira withdrew from the battle to await the outcome from a place of safety.

Another exception is a period from about the year 644 to 664, when kings ruled individually over Deira; however, these were merely sub-kings and rarely exercised much independence.
In 670, the brother of King Ecgfrith, Aelfwine, was made king of Deira, but by this point the title appears to have been little more than a formality, perhaps meant to designate Aelfwine as Ecgfrith's heir.
Aelfwine was killed in battle against Mercia in 679, and there was not another separate king of Deira until the time of Norse rule.

 Britannia Biographies: St. Cedd, Bishop of London
On one such occasion in AD 658, Cedd was approached by King Aethelwald of Deira who had been instructed in Christianity and administered the Sacraments by the Bishop's brother, Caelin.
Finding Cedd to be a good and wise man, he pressed upon him to accept a parcel of land at Laestingaeu (Lastingham in Yorkshire) on which to build a Royal monastery and prospective mausoleum.
The East Anglians appear to have held some sort of overlordship in Essex at this time and, within about two years, Aethelwald had persuaded Swithelm that it would be in his interest to become Christian.

Bernicia and Deira were sometimes separate, sometimes joined into Northumbria.
Occasionally one king would defeat the others and be called "bretwalda" or chief of the Anglo-Saxon kings, but without forming a unified Anglo-Saxon kingdom.
Cedd became Bishop of the East Saxons (at Tilbury), Cynebil was founder and Abbot of the monastery of Lastingham, and Celin became chaplain to King Aethelwald of Deira.
