Earls, ealdormen and high-reeves of Bamburgh

From the mid-tenth century to the early eleventh, Bamburgh and the surrounding region (the former Bernicia), the northern part of the old Kingdom of Northumbria, was ruled by a series of high-reeves (or high-reeves, from Old English heah-gerefa) and ealdormen (Latin duces, Old English eorl, modern English earl). Several of these men ruled all Northumbria.

• Eadwulf (died 913), said to have ruled Bamburgh as "reeve" by Æthelweard
• Osulf I (floruit 946–54), ruled all Northumbria
• Eadwulf Evil-child
• Waltheof I^[1] (floruit 994)
• Northman (floruit 994)
• Uhtred (1006–16), ruled all Northumbria
• Eadwulf Cudel (died 1019)
• Ealdred II (died 1038)
• Eadwulf III (died 1041)
• Bernicia united to the rest of Northumbria during this period (1041–65).
• Osulf II (1065–67)
• Copsi (1067)
• Gospatric (1067–72), perhaps ruled all Northumbria
