	Bede's people: Oswiu
		Oswine, who was a member of the Deiran royal house in the male line, ruled there as sub-king.
		This murder was thought to be particularly abhorrent and Eanflaed was instrumental in negotiating recompense whereby Oswiu atoned by dedicating a new monastery at Gilling with Trumhere, a relative of Oswine, as abbot.
		In 616 when he was four years old, his father, the Bernician king Æthelfrith, was killed in battle and his rival Edwin of Deira assumed the throne.

	Renascence: Royal and Ecclesiastical rivalries in Bede's history
		Oswine accosted Aidan, who responded: "Surely this son of a mare is not dearer to you than that son of God?" When the two went to dine, Oswine reflected, took off his sword (symbolically laying aside his connection with bloodshed), prostrated himself at Aidan's feet and begged forgiveness for his temerity.
		Oswine's unwillingness to persist in royal rivalry is the result of the virtue that Gregory the Great held out as the ideal Christian leader, humility, and this Aidan identified.
		Instead, she ended that feud by accepting compensation from Oswiu for the murder of Oswine in the form of the estate at Gilling where Oswine was killed and which was used to found a monastery.

	Kingdom of Northumbria (Anglo-Saxon Age)
		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.
		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).
		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.
		Some of these ealdormen were kings in their own right (such as Æthelhere of East Anglia, Peada of Middle Anglia, Cadafael of Gwynedd and Oethelwald of Deira) who could have brought armies of their own to the battle further increasing Penda's force.

	The Heroic Age: Politics of Exile in Early Northumbria
		Oswald's conquest of Deira caused the exile of his cousins: Edwin's son Uscfrea and his grandson Yffi, Oswine son of Osric, and probably also the death of Eadfrith son of Edwin who had been taken prisoner by Penda after the battle of Hatfield Chase ( See Fig.

		He was cousin (or son, or nephew) of Edwin, and father of Oswine.

	Bede's World: Eanflæd
		Eanflæd was born in 626 the daughter of Edwin of Deira, then king of Northumbria, and his wife Æthelburgh of Kent.
		The course of her life was set within the dynastic politics of Northumbria and the relationships between its two royal houses of Bernicia and Deira.
		At the beginning of Oswiu's reign, the unity of the Northumbrian kingdom was by no means assured and as a son of Æthelfrith, his acceptability in Deira could not be guaranteed, despite his mother's Deiran lineage.

	Oswiu_of_Northumbria
		Oswiu was the son of Æthelfrith and brother of Oswald, whom he succeeded in Bernicia and Deira in 642 after the Battle of Maserfeld, but Oswine, a relative of Edwin, took control of Deira in ''c.'' 644.
		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.
		From then onward Deira would be only a subkingdom of Northumbria.

	EBK: St. Oswin, King of Deira
		While Oswin grew into a burly young man, Enfrith's half-brother, Oswald was accepted by both Bernicia and Deira as King of a united Northumbria and he drove off their south-western invaders.
		In August AD 651, he raised a vast army, which Oswin was obliged to march out to meet, but, finding he was greatly outnumbered, the King of Deira wisely decided to withdraw from the battlefield and avoid unnecessary bloodshed.
		In AD 633, his father, Osric, had managed to secure the crown of Deira (modern Yorkshire) after the death of his cousin, King Edwin of Northumbria, at the Battle of Hatfield Chase.

	Anglo-Saxons.net : Timeline: 450
		Shortly after the division of the kingdom on Edwin's death (see entry on 633) both kingdoms were reunited under Oswald of Bernicia (634-42); after Oswald's death in 642 there were again separate rulers until Oswiu of Bernicia ordered the killing of Oswine of Deira in 651.
		While there may have been sub-kings of Deira for the next thirty years or so, Oswine was probably the last independent king of a separate Deira, and so with hindsight we can say that Northumbria became a single kingdom under Bernician control in 651.
		The Deirans claimed an even earlier beginning: the Historia Brittonum 's version of the genealogy of the Deirans (?61) states that Soemel, the great-great-great-grandfather of Ælle of Deira (who was king in 597) separated Deira from Bernicia.

	Battle of Maserfield - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Following the battle, Deira, in the southern part of Northumbria, chose a king of its own, Oswine, while
		Bernicia in the north (which had been dominant, with Oswald, a member of the Bernician royal line, ruling both Bernicia and Deira prior to Maserfield) was ruled by Oswald's brother Oswiu.
		Thus the battle led to the internal weakening and fracturing of the Northumbrian kingdom, a situation which lasted until after the battle of the Winwaed, despite Oswine's murder on the orders of Oswiu in 651.

		Both Osric and Oswine have converted to Christianity in Kent, and they both swear allegiance to the British High King as overlord as a condition of being allowed to return to the throne of Deira.
		The Kingdom of Deira (now much much reduced in size) is given to Sigebert, brother of King Eorpwald of East Anglia, who accepts High King Cadwaladyr as overlord.
		Deira and Bernicia swallow up most of Eborac shortly afterward (Elmet and Rheged take the rest), and Eborac ceases to exist.

	The Heroic Age: Oswald and the Irish
		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.
		It is reasonable that Deira experienced similar influences, from southern Britain, that can be traced to Edwin's exile in East Anglia and Oswine's exile among the Gewisse.

	England
		From Oswiu's time forward, Bernicia and Deira were always united, and collectively formed the Kingdom of Northumbria.
		At this point the chronology becomes muddled; it is likely that South Rheged was re-integrated with the North until around 620, when it fell to the Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Deira.
		Northumbria arose out of the amalgamation of two precursor states, Bernicia and Deira.

		Her cousins included King Oswine of Deira, Abbot Trumhere of Gelling and later Bishop of Mercia, Queen Eanflæd of Bernicia and Eanflæd's children Ecgfrith King of Bernicia/Northumbria, Ælfwine King of Deira, Osthryth Queen of Mercia, and Ælfflæd Hild's successor as Abbess of Whitby.
		In 648/9, she became Abbess of Hartlepool in Deira.
		She returned to Deira when her great uncle Edwin became king in 616.

	Northumbria
		It appears that Deira was the earlier of the two to become established, and the greater number of cemeteries suggests that it was also the more densely settled.
		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.
		when each had raised an army against the other, Oswin (Oswine) perceived that he could not maintain a war against his enemy who had more auxiliaries than himself, and he thought it better at that time to lay aside all thoughts of engaging, and to reserve himself for better times.

	The Social Context of Warfare in Anglo-Saxon England
		Bede records how the popularity of Oswine, king of Deira, was such that noble men came from every region to serve him.
		The social hierarchy of the warband appears to have been based on a combination of birth and ability.
		In addition a lord who was militarily successful, either in raiding his neighbours or forcing them to yield tribute, would attract warriors from outside the region, which would in turn increase his ability to raid and exact tribute.
