After his death Deira was subject to king Æthelfrith of Northumbria until the accession of Ælla's son Edwin, in 616 or 617, who ruled both kingdoms till 633.
For a few years subsequently Deira was governed by Aethelwald son of Oswald.

 Oswiu of Northumbria - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Oswiu was the son of Æthelfrith and brother of Oswald, whom he succeeded in Bernicia in 642 after the Battle of Maserfeld, in which Oswald was killed; however, Oswine, a relative of Edwin, became king of Deira, the other of the two kingdoms that constituted Northumbria, at some point in the years following the battle.
At Gilling in 651, he plotted the murder of Oswine and a few years later took possession of Deira, thus once more reuniting Bernicia and Deira into the kingdom of Northumbria.
In 655, Penda led a large army composed of "thirty legions" (including the kings of East Anglia and Gwynedd) against Bernicia; Penda was also supported in his invasion by Aethelwald of Deira, the son of Oswald who had become king of Deira after Oswine's murder in 651.

 Kingdom of Northumbria (Anglo-Saxon Age)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
It was unlikely to stop Acha's brother Edwin from claiming the kingdom of Deira but it was too dangerous for Edwin to remain in Northumbria and he sought protection at the court of King Cearl of Mercia (an Angle kingdom based in the Midlands).
Oswine of Deira was now under threat from all sides and was eventually murdered after backing down from military confrontation with Oswy at Wilfar's Hill near Catterick.
Oswy's control of Deira was assured but now he also had a say in Mercian affairs, appointing Penda's son Peada (after whom Peterborough is named) as King of Mercia south of the Trent.

 The Heroic Age: Oswald and the Irish
Bede claims that Oswine of Deira was so beloved because of his "royal dignity" that "noblemen from almost every kingdom flocked to serve him as retainers" (Bede 3.14, McClure and Collins 1994:132).
The fast friendship between Oswine and Bishop Aidan suggests that Deira was firmly under the control of Lindisfarne during Oswald's reign and that the preference for Roman customs and the authority of Canterbury had been completely suppressed.
Oswine spent his exile with the Gewisse and therefore we might have expected him to turn to Bishop Birinus of Dorchester.

 The Heroic Age: Oswald and the Irish
He reunited Bernicia and Deira, possibly through his claim as the son of Acha, daughter of King Ælle of Deira and Edwin's sister, but most likely through force of arms [12].
Oswald's Deiran successor, cousin and rival, Oswine also submitted to Bishop Aidan of Lindisfarne rather than to Canterbury or Dorchester [49], thus suggesting that Oswald's overlordship and sponsorship of Lindisfarne was more than superficial in Deira.
Oswine's acceptance of Aidan may have been aided by the notion that Aidan was also the Bishop of York.

Eadwine was the first Christian Saxon king of the north, and the patron of Paulinus, but was slain in battle by Penda, the pagan king of Mercia, who had vowed to extirpate the heresy of Christianity from the island, and Paulinus, with the Queen and young Princes, fled to the kingdom of Kent.
Oswy murdered Oswine, becoming thus king of Northumbria; and defeated the incorrigible old pagan, Penda, who had again invaded Northumbria, in the battle of Winwinfield, in which the Mercian king fell.
At the time of the death of Oswine, Alchfrid was a bold energetic and ambitious young man, and persuaded his father, partly by menaces, to place him as his co-adjutor, on the throne of Deira.
