	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: St. Edwin
		Edwin's persuasion, moreover, Eorpwald, King of East Anglia, son of his old friend Redwald, was led to become a Christian.
		Edwin used to have the tufa (a tuft of feathers on a spear, a military ensign of Roman origin) borne publicly before him, and he received tribute from the Welsh princes.
		Edwin was slain on 12 October, 633, in repelling an attack made on him by Penda, the pagan King of Mercia, who, together with the Welsh prince Cadwallon (a Christian only in name), had invaded his dominion.

	Edwin of Northumbria - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Edwin is said to have founded the city of Edinburgh in 626, and it is possible that the city was named after him (one interpretation of its etymology is "Edwin's fort").
		It was a condition that Christianity should be tolerated in Northumbria, and accordingly Paulinus was consecrated bishop by Justus in 625, and was sent to Northumbria with Æthelberga.
		According to Bede, Edwin was favourably disposed towards Christianity owing to a vision he had seen at the court of Raedwald, and in 626 he allowed Eanfled, his daughter by Æthelberga, to be baptized.

	Oswald of Northumbria - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		He was the son of Aethelfrith of Northumbria and came to rule after a period of exile, and he is best remembered as a Christian saint and martyr.
		Oswald's father Aethelfrith was the first ruler of a united Northumbria; Northumbria consisted of two kingdoms, Bernicia (in the north) and Deira (in the south), and the king of Bernicia, Aethelfrith, came to rule Deira as well around the year 604.
		After the king of Gwynedd, Cadwallon ap Cadfan (in alliance with Penda of Mercia), killed King Edwin 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 sub-kingdoms of Bernicia and Deira.

	List of monarchs of Northumbria - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Northumbria, a kingdom of Angles in northern England, was initially divided into two kingdoms, Bernicia and Deira.
		The exceptions are during the brief period from 633 to 634, when Northumbria was plunged into chaos by the death of King Edwin in battle and the ruinous invasion of Cadwallon ap Cadfan of Gwynedd.
		In 670, Aelfwine, the brother of the childless King Ecgfrith, was made king of Deira; by this point the title may have been used primarily to designate an heir.

	Regno di Northumbria - Wikipedia
		La Northumbria fu composta in origine dall'unione di due regni indipendenti, Bernicia e Deira, e si estendeva dall'Humber al Firth of Forth includendo Edinburgo.
		Ciononostante, la Northumbria riuscì a mantenere la sua posizione di dominio fino quando non subì una disastrosa sconfitta per mano dei Pitti nella Battaglia di Nechtansmere del 685; il re di Northumbria, Ecgfrith (figlio di Oswiu), fu ucciso, e il potere che il regno esercitava a nord fu gravemente indebolito.
		Le invasioni vichinghe e scozzesi ridussero ulteriormente la Northumbria a una contea stretta tra i fiumi Tees e Tweed, ed essa rimase per lungo tempo in una zona contesa tra i nascenti stati nazionali di Inghilterra e Scozia.

	History of the Monarchy > The Anglo Saxon kings
		Following the final withdrawal of the Roman legions from the provinces of Britannia in around 408 AD these small kingdoms were left to preserve their own order and to deal with invaders and waves of migrant peoples such as the Picts from beyond Hadrian's Wall, the Scots from Ireland and Germanic tribes from the continent.
		King Arthur, a larger-than-life figure, has often been cited as a leader of one or more of these kingdoms during this period, although his name now tends to be used as a symbol of British resistance against invasion.
		His influence extended both north and south of the river Humber: his nephew became king of the East Saxons and his daughter married king Edwin of Northumbria (died 633).

	Edwin of Northumbria : Edwin of Deira (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Saint Æduini, Edwine or Edwin (585-October 12, 633), king of Northumbria, was the son of Ælla.
		On the seizure of Deira by Æthelfrith of Bernicia (probably 605), Edwin was expelled and is said to have taken refuge with Cadfan[?], king of Gwynedd.
		It is probable that the conquest of the Celtic kingdom of Elmet[?], located in the neighbourhood of the modern Leeds, ruled over by a king named Cerdic[?] fell within this period, and this may have led to the later quarrel with Cadwallon[?], king of Gwynedd.

	Bede's World: Edwin
		Edwin was a prince of the royal house of Deira.
		Edwin was bound to respond to the provocation from the West Saxons and, according to Bede's account, he promised to accept the Christian faith if he were granted victory.
		In the end, the challenge to Edwin came not from Æthelfrith's sons in the north, but from an alliance of the Mercian king Penda and the Welsh king Cadwallon, both of whom are likely to have suffered as a result of Edwin's growing power to the south.
