	Northumbria - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Edwin, who accepted Christianity in 627, soon grew to become the most powerful king in England: he was recognized as Bretwalda and conquered Rheged, the Isle of Man and Gwynedd in northern Wales.
		Northumbria is primarily the name of a petty kingdom of Angles which was formed in Great Britain at the beginning of the 7th century, and of the much smaller earldom which succeeded the kingdom.
		Scots invasions further reduced Northumbria to an earldom stretching from the Humber to the Tweed, and Northumbria was for a long time in territory where sovereignty was disputed between the emerging kingdoms of England and Scotland.

		Through his acceptance of Christianity, Edwin gained within his administration a clergy who had skills of literacy which were previously unknown in the kingdom and who depended for their position on him without reference to any traditional tribal or factional loyalties.

	St. Edwin
		Edwin sent a group of nobles to ask for her hand and received the reply that it was not permissible for a Christian maiden to marry a heathen - Living with a person who was completely ignorant of the worship of the true God would make the Christian faith and Sacraments a profanity.

		After Cadwallon ap Cadfan, the king of Gwynedd, in alliance with the pagan Penda of Mercia, killed Edwin of Deira in battle at Hatfield Chase in 633 (or 632, depending on when the years used by Bede are considered to have began), Northumbria was split between its constituent kingdoms of Bernicia and Deira.
		Although Edwin had previously converted to Christianity in 627, it was Oswald who did the most to spread the religion in Northumbria.
		The Mercians to the south, who participated in Edwin's defeat in 633, seem to have presented an obstacle to Oswald's authority south of the Humber, although it has been generally thought that Oswald dominated Mercia to some degree after Heavenfield.
