	Aldfrith of Northumbria - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Aldfrith (died December 14, 704) was a King of Northumbria (685 - 704).
		Bede tells a story of Ecgfrith's sister, Elfleda, asking Saint Cuthbert who could possibly take over the kingdom after her brother's death, only to be reminded of the existence of Aldfrith, a scholar who had previously lived a quiet life of study in Ireland and on the island of Iona.
		Aldfrith's presence in Ireland was perceived as a threat to Ecgfrith's throne, and that is probably why Ecgfrith sent his men to ravage Meath in 684 AD.

	The Catholic Encyclopedia - Aldfrith (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Adamnan, Abbot of Iona, on the occasion of his visit to England for the redemption of some captives, presented his book "De Locis Sanctis" to Aldfrith as a testimonial of the King's appreciation of learning, and Aldhelm, Abbot of Malmesbury, dedicated his work on "Metres" to him.
		The dissension between Aldfrith and Wilfrid was largely due to their respective advocacy of two different schools of learning—the Roman and the Irish—and of administration, one favouring the Roman and the other the Irish party.
		William of Malmesbury says Northumbria was considerably restricted through victories of the Picts, and Bede dates the deterioration of ecclesiastical administration in the kingdom from Aldfrith's death.

	Kingship and the Church
		King Aldfrith of Northumbria (685-705 AD) was according to Bede, “a man most learned in the Scriptures” [1], in other words he had probably been educated by the church and was able to read and possibly write.
		One possible example of Aldfrith using the inherent literacy of the church can perhaps be discerned in the introduction of the first known ‘Northumbrian’ coinage, the sceatta or silver penny, which apparently had its origins sometime during his reign.
		It is probable then that Aldfrith exploited the church’s literary abilities in order that he could accomplish this particular symbol of kingly authority, the issue and control of a kingdoms ‘currency’.

	Aldfrith?
		I found an article about Aldfrith in a book, "The Mammoth Book of British Kings & Queens," by Mike Ashley who says to the effect that Aldfrith was the illegitimate son of Oswy, so, was over looked for succession in favor of his half-brothers.
		During "these years Aldfrith devoted himself to study, initially in Ireland and subsequently at Canterbury and Malmesbury before settling on Iona in 684, where he indulged in poetry and the study of riddles." I wasn't able to get a response to the "Itinerary." So, I hope this is the right answer.

		The kingdom of Lindsey (probably the same as the Parts of Lindsey in modern Lincolnshire) was known to Bede, and though it fell alternately under Northumbrian and Mercian control in the 7th century, a surviving regnal list shows that it did at one time boast its own kings.
		It was once thought that the last of these, Aldfrith, witnessed a single charter confirmed by Offa of Mercia (S 1183), but this is now thought to be more probably a mangled attestation of Offa's son Ecgfrith (see Kelly, Selsey, p.
