Unreferenced date June 2007 Wulfnoth Godwinson 1040 1094 was a younger brother of Harold II of England , the sixth son of Earl Godwin Godwin . He was given as a hostage to Edward the Confessor in 1051 as assurance of Godwin s good behaviour and support during the confrontation between the earl and the king which led to the exile of Godwin and his other sons. Upon Godwin s return to England at the head of an army a year later, following extensive preparations in Ireland and Flanders, Norman supporters of King Edward, and especially Archbishop Robert of Jumieges, fled England. It is likely at this point that Wulfnoth and Hakon, son of Svein Godwinson, Godwin s eldest son were spirited away by the fleeing archbishop, and taken to Normandy, where they were handed over to William I of England Duke William of Normandy . According to Eadmer Eadmer s Historia novorum in Anglia , the reason for Harold s excursion to Normandy in 1064 or 1065 was that he wished to free Wulfnoth as well as his nephew Hakon. To this end he took with him a vast amount of wealth, all of which was confiscated by Count of Ponthieu Count Guy I of Ponthieu when Harold and his party were shipwrecked. However, Harold s reasons for travelling to the continent are not clear, and there are other reasonable explanations, not the least of which was a sounding out among continental magnates of a response to his own intention to ascend the English throne at one point, given Edward s advanced age and lack of heir.

Osulf also Oswulf was the son of Eadulf III of Bernicia Eadulf III , Earl of Bamburgh killed 1041 , and grandson of Uchtred the Bold , Earl of Northumbria killed 1016 . Osulf s family ruled as High Reeves or ealdormen of Bamburgh from 954 until 1041, when Siward of Northumbria Siward the Stout killed Eadulf and reunited Northumbria under one ruler. In 1065, Morcar of Northumbria Morcar succeeded Tostig Godwinson Tostig as Earl of all Northumbria, and he appointed Osulf to rule the portion north of the River Tyne . However, because of Morcar s resistance to the military adventures of William I of England William the Conqueror in 1066, he was deposed and imprisoned. William then appointed Copsi of Northumbria Copsi sometimes Copsig , Tostig s former deputy, as Morcar s replacement. In February 1067, Copsi came north and forced Osulf to seek shelter in the hills. Osulf began to gather an army. Because Copsi was seen as an invader and a tax gatherer for William, he was deeply unpopular amongst the Northumbrians north and south of the Tees, and Osulf had no trouble in gathering recruits. On March 12 he surprised Copsi and his men at a banquet at Newburn upon Tyne . Copsi fled to a nearby church, but this was set on fire, forcing Copsi out. Osulf then had Copsi s head cut off. Osulf appears to have seized control of the earldom of Bamburgh, and was not threatened by any expeditions to remove him. However in the autumn of 1067, Osulf, who appears to have been carrying out his duties as earl, intercepted an outlaw and was run through by the man s spear. He was succeeded as earl by his cousin, Gospatric, Earl of Northumbria Cospatric , who purchased the earldom from King William.
