No footnotes date June 2010 Ceolwulf was king of Northumbria from 729 until 737, except for a short period in 731 or 732 when he was deposed, and quickly restored to power. Ceolwulf finally abdicated and entered the monastery at Lindisfarne . He was the most glorious king to whom Bede dedicated his Historia ecclesiastica gentis Anglorum . He was adopted as heir by his predecessor, and distant cousin, Osric of Northumbria Osric . Ceolwulf was brother of Coenred of Northumbria Coenred and was the second of the Leodwaldings to rule Northumbria . With the extinction of the main line of the Eoppingas at the death of Osric or, if Osric was not in fact of the direct line, even earlier, in 716, at the death of Osred I of Northumbria Osred son of Aldfrith of Northumbria Aldfrith , the kingdom of Northumbria entered into a long period of dynastic conflict and instability, which was only ended by the destruction of the kingdom by the Vikings in 867. As with Aldfrith, the Irish annals give Ceolwulf an Irish name, E chaid son of Cuidin , and if Cuidin is a calque of Cuthwine, E chaid is no more obviously related to Ceolwulf than Flann is to Aldfrith.

She is also called queen of the Gewisse , an early name for the tribe which ruled Wessex. She is said to have ruled Wessex for about a year after the death of her husband, Cenwalh of Wessex Cenwalh , in 672. It was extremely rare for a woman to rule in her own right in Anglo Saxon England, and she was the only woman to appear in a regnal list. She may have ruled for over a year, as the next reign is entered in the Anglo Saxon Chronicle in 674. However, Bede said that after death of Cenwalh sub kings took upon themselves the government of the kingdom , so the chroniclers may have tidied up a complicated situation. ref http www.oxforddnb.com view article 25149?docPos 1 Barbara Yorke, Seaxburh , Oxford Online Dictionary of National Biography, 2004 ref ref Ann Williams historian Ann Williams , Alfred P.
