Ealdred I of Bernicia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ealdred I (d.12 July 927) was the ealdorman of Bernicia from 913 to his death. He allied with Constantine II of Scotland against Raegnald, king of York. They raided his Norse kingdom of York in 913 and defeated him at Corbridge in 915. He and Donald I, king of Strathclyde, did homage to Athelstan of England at Eamont near Penrith and became vassals of the English king.
