http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ealdred,_Earl_of_BerniciaEaldred was Earl of
Bernicia from 1020/25 until his murder in 1038. He was the son of
Uhtred, Earl of Northumbria, who was murdered by Thurbrand the Hold in 1016 with the connivance of
Canute. Ealdred's mother was Ecgfrida, daughter of
Aldhun, bishop of
Durham.
Ealdred succeeded his uncle
Eadwulf Cudel as Earl of Bernicia in 1020/25, and some time probably in the mid 1020s he killed Thurbrand in revenge for his father's death. In 1038 Ealdred was murdered by Thurbrand's son, Carl. He was succeeded as Earl of Bernicia by his brother, another
Eadwulf, who was murdered by King
Harthacanute in 1041.
Ealdred's daughter, Aelfflaed, was the first wife of
Siward, Earl of Northumbria and her son, and Ealdred's grandson, was
Waltheof, Earl of Northumbria.
