Following the Battle of Hatfield Chase on October 12, 632 (or 633), during which the Northumbrian king Edwin was killed by the invading Welsh and Mercians, Northumbria was split between its two sub-kingdoms, Bernicia and Deira, and exposed to the devastation of Cadwallon's invading army.

 The Heroic Age: Oswald and the Irish
It is believed that Eanfrith married a Pictish woman during his exile (Miller 1978).
Given Eanfrith's marriage, it is possible that he led a group of exiles in Pictland (Kirby 1991:87).
Eanfrith's return to the old Anglo-Saxon gods may have been motivated by at least three factors: a need to patronize the gods that brought his father prosperity, to differentiate himself from the religion that Edwin forced on Bernicia, and to demonstrate his independence from Dalriada.

By his time the kingdom must have reached the west coast, as he is said to have conquered the islands of Anglesea and Man. Under Edwin the Northumbrian kingdom became the chief power in the country.
At his death in 633 the kingdom was again divided, Deira falling to his nephew Osric, while Bernicia was occupied by Eanfrith son of ~thelfrith.
Both these kings were slain by Ceadwalla in the following year, but shortly afterwards the Welsh king was overthrown by Oswald (qv.), brother of Eanfrith, who reunited the whole of Northumbria under his sway and acquired a supremacy analogous to that previously held by Edwin.

 The Heroic Age: Politics of Exile in Early Northumbria
The baptism of all Æthelfrith's children, including Eanfrith, by the Irish further indicates that Eochaid Bude was the dominant king since the Picts are not known to have been especially pro-Christian yet, although some of the southern Picts may have acknowledged Whithorn as their mother church as Bede indicates (3.3; McClure and Collins 1994:114-115).

Anderson 1980:169-170 and Smyth 1984:64-65 that Eanfrith’s wife was a daughter of Wid.
Therefore Eanfrith and Oswald reigned for a cumulative nine years and there is little but the record of Oswald’s participation in Cynegils’ baptism (ASC 635; Swanton 1998:27) to give an end point to Eanfrith’s reign.
Eanfrith's death may have severed the strongest obligations of the remaining sons of Æthelfrith to Dalriada.

 The Heroic Age: Oswald and the Irish
Stancliffe (1995:48) believes that Cadwallon allowed Eanfrith to become king but it seems more possible that they were allowed to return by their Dalriadan and Pictish hosts who could have refused to release them from their service.
The fact that Eanfrith initially gained the throne over Oswald may have encouraged the Irish warriors to remain longer to enforce Oswald's position relative to Eanfrith, with Eanfrith's decision to reject Christianity further polarizing the two retinues.
We know that the Ionan church had baptized Eanfrith but we do not have a good understanding of other ties between him and Eochaid's kindred since he was possibly given refuge in Pictland [36], although Eochaid was memorialized in the Annals of Ulster as the King of Picts.
