Notities over Eadwulf III King of Northumbria

{geni:about_me} Eadwulf III was the son of Eardwulf II (fl. 790 – c. 830) who was king of Northumbria from 796 to 806, when he was deposed and went into exile. He may have had a second reign from 808 until perhaps 811 or 830. Northumbria in the last years of the eighth century was the scene of dynastic strife between several noble families: in 790, the then-king Æthelred I attempted to have Eardwulf assassinated. Eardwulf's survival may have been viewed asa sign of divine favour. A group of nobles conspired to assassinate Æthelred in April 796 and he was succeeded by Osbald: Osbald's reign lasted only twenty-seven days before he was deposed and Eardwulf II became king on 14 May 796.

Little is recorded of Eardwulf's family, though his father, also named Eardwulf, is known to have been a nobleman. Eardwulf II was married by the time he became king, though his wife's name is not recorded. It is possible he laterwed an illegitimate daughter of Charlemagne. In 798, early in his reign, Eardwulf II fought a battle at Billington Moor against a nobleman named Wada, who had been one of those who killed King Æthelred. Wada was defeated and driven into exile. In 801, Eardwulf II led an army against Coenwulf of Mercia, perhaps because of Coenwulf's support for other claimants to the Northumbrian throne.

Eardwulf II was deposed in 806 and according to a Frankish record, returned to his kingdom in 808. No record has survived of his death or the end of his reign: dates from 811 to 830 have been suggested. He was possibly buried at the Mercian royal monastery of Breedon on the Hill which carries a dedication to Saint Mary and Saint Hardulph, with whom Eardwulf is identified by several historians

Eadwulf III it is believed now perhaps succeeded his father to the title for Northumberland and died in circa 840 when his son was very young. So instead from 840-867 another family ruled Northumberland with Osberht and then Aellabeing kings from 847-67. They were both killed in the Battle of York defeated by Ragnarsson, the Viking leader. See the overview for his father Eadwulf II for a broader history of the Eadwulf rulers of Northumberland through Earl Siward and his son Waltheof whose daughter became Queen of the Scotts. Through Waltheof's daughter arose the House of Huntingdon which led to the powerful House of Bruce of Scotland and the Royal House of Stewart.
