Notities over ALDRED Earl of Northumberland 27th GGF

Ealdred, son of Uhtred by Ecgfrida daughter of Bishop Ealdun, succeeded to the earldom of the Northumbrians alone and killed Thurbrand, his father's murderer. Carl, the son of Thurbrand, and Earl Ealdred were distressed by these shocking events. He and Ealdred tried to ambush each other at every opportunity but were finally brought to agreement by the intervention of friends. Indeed, they became so friendly that they decided to go to Rome together as sworn brothers. But held up by a lengthy storm at sea they abandoned the proposed journey and returned home. Carl received the earl into his home with befitting magnificence. But after this show of conviviality, while he (Carl) was escorting him - suspecting no evil - apparently to show him honour, he killed him in a wood called Risewood and still today the place of his murder is marked by a small stone cross.
Earl Ealdred had five daughters. of whom three«i» «/i»were called Aelfflaed. the fourth Ealdgyth. and the fifth Aetheldryth. From one of these Aelfflaeds, Earl Siward fathered Earl Waltheof
And because this Aelfflaed was a countess, since she was the daughter of Earl Ealdred who was the son of Earl Uhtred and the daughter of Bishop Ealdun, she claimed the aforesaid lands as hers by hereditary right - Barmpton. Skirningham. Elton, Carlton. School Aycliffe, and Monk Heselden which Earl Siward, her husband, gave her; and he gave to his son the earldom of the Northumbrians, just as W al theof' s grandfather. Earl Ealdred, had held it. After the death of Earl Siward and Countess Aelfflaed, war erupted and these lands were devastated. A long time after, Arkil son of Eegfrith, who was mentioned earlier and who had married Sigrid daughter of Kilvert and Ecgfrida, daughter of Bishop Ealdun, seized these devastated lands for himself and settled down on them. When his wife Sigrid died, he gave to St Cuthbert, Monk Heselden, School Aycliffe, and Carlton which the church still possesses. Arkil, son of Fridegist, Earl Eadulf, and Arkil, son of Ecgfrith all had Sigrid as a wife. Afterwards, King William came to England and Arkil fled into exile. And so that land lay waste once more. Later, a thegn from Yorkshire, called Orm, son of Camel, married Actheldryth, one of the five daughters of Earl Ealdred, and they had a daughter called Ecgfrida, who by Aelfsige of Tees had a son, Waltheof, two other sons, and a daughter, Eda. Because Ecgfrida was descended from Ealdred and the daughter of Bishop Ealdun. she claimed hereditary right and with her husband, Aelfsige, seized Barmpton and Skirningham.'
