Ecgfrith of Northumbria - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Ecgfrith was the son of his predecessor as king, Oswiu of Northumbria. Ecgfrith (645–May 20, 685) was the King of Northumbria from 670 until his death. Ecgfrith was made king of Deira, a sub-kingdom of Northumbria, in 664, and he became king of Northumbria following his father's death on February 15, 670. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Ecgfrith_of_Northumbria   (487 words)

Northumbria So Ecgfrith, king of Bernicia and Deira, a man of unwavering purpose, took the advice of his counsellors, followed the injunctions of his bishop, put his trust in God and marched forth against the enemy host, in defence of Church and fatherland, with as few troops as had Barak and Deborah. King Oswy and his son Alchfrid (Alhfrith) met them with a very small army, as has been said, but trusting in Christ as their Leader; his other son, Egfrid (Ecgfrith) was then kept as a hostage at the court of Queen Cynwise (Cynewise), in the province of the Mercians. Ecgfrith was quite gentle with his people and merciful to his enemies, but quick in battle, impatient of delay. www.stephen.j.murray.btinternet.co.uk /northumbria.htm   (13746 words)

Oswiu_of_Northumbria In 660 Oswiu married his son Ecgfrith to Æthelthryth, daughter of the former East Anglian king Anna. Oswiu died in 670 and was succeeded by his son Ecgfrith.

Anglo-Saxons.net : Timeline: 676-688 Nonetheless Ecgfrith prepared to ravage the country, but the Picts feigned flight and lured him into some narrow passes in the mountains, where the Northumbrian king and his forces were slaughtered. Bede notes that the way was clear for fiercer hostilities between the two peoples, but that Archbishop Theodore intervened to try to keep the peace, and convinced the Northumbrians to accept a money-payment for Ælfwine's death (wergeld) instead of a full slaking of their vengeance in blood. Bede (HE, iv.26) states that Ecgfrith's raid against the Picts was undertaken against the advice of his counsellors, particularly St Cuthbert. www.anglo-saxons.net /hwaet?do=get&type=chron&from=676&to=688   (1978 words)

Aethelred of Mercia Aelfwine, the brother of Ecgfrith, was slain on this occasion, but at the intervention of Theodore, archbishop of Canterbury, Æthelred agreed to pay a weregild for the Northumbrian prince and so prevented further hostilities. Æthelred married Osthryth, the sister of Ecgfrith, king of Northumbria, but in spite of this connection a quarrel arose between the two kings, presumably over the possession of the province of Lindsey, which Ecgfrith had won back at the close of the reign of Wulfhere. Osthryth was murdered in 697 and Æthelred abdicated in 704, choosing Wulfhere's son Cenred as his successor. en.mcfly.org /Aethelred+of+Mercia   (181 words)

Kingdom of Northumbria (Anglo-Saxon Age) Wilfrid claimed that King Ecgfrith had no right to divide the Northumbrian bishopric, but the king was unmoved by the papal orders. Wilfrid was banished from Northumbria and John of Beverley was reinstated as Bishop of Hexham. The age of Bede was something of a heyday for the Kingdom of Northumbria, but in the late eighth century Northumbria was plagued with weak leadership and collapsed into a state of anarchy caused by rivalry between the royal houses of Deira and Bernicia. www.thenortheast.fsnet.co.uk /KingdomofNorthumbria.htm   (6552 words)

Saint_Egbert In 684, he unsuccessfully tried to dissuade King Ecgfrith of Northumbria from send an expedition to Ireland under his general Berht, which seems to have been unsuccessful. '''Saint Egbert''' (died 729) was a novice in the Benedictine monastery of Lindisfarne in Northumbria in Anglo-Saxon England. A vision in 688 (Bede) and his vow led Egbert to become a monk on the island of Iona, in the distant Inner Hebrides, where resided from 716 and gently persuaded the monks there to adhere to the Roman form of computing Easter, which had been adopted at the Synod of Whitby (664). q-basic.xodox.de /Saint_Egbert   (295 words)

Bede's World: Wilfrid Ecgfrith's second wife, Iurmenburh, became hostile to Wilfrid on account of the vast estates which he had acquired and the way he travelled about with a large armed retinue, like that of a king. With a new king, Aldfrith, Ecgfrith's half-brother, in Northumbria, Wilfrid was restored to the (now smaller) diocese of York in 686 and he re-gained control of his Northumbrian monasteries of Ripon and Hexham. But the hostility of the Northumbrian court followed him, for he was hindered in Mercia by Queen Ostryth, a sister of Ecgfrith, and in Wessex where the queen was Iurminburh's sister. www.bedesworld.co.uk /academic-people-wilfrid.php   (1541 words)

By 681 AD Ecgfrith had founded a bishopric at Abercorn on the southern shore of the Forth - a symbol of Northumbria’s secure grip over the Picts. ‘In the year 685 King Ecgfrith rashly led an army to waste the province of the Picts, although many of his friends opposed it…and through the enemy’s feigning flight he was led into the defiles of inaccessible mountains, and annihilated, with great part of his forces he had brought with him.’ www.bbc.co.uk /history/scottishhistory/darkages/trails_darkages_picts.shtml   (528 words)

Nechtansmere King Ecgfrith and his bodyguard were killed, and the Northumbrian army was routed, most of them killed or enslaved. In 685AD, King Ecgfrith of Northumbria invaded unoccupied Pictland in response, it would seem; to guerrilla-type raids by the warriors of Brudei, King of the Picts.
