Summoned to a 'peace meeting' by Cnut, Uchtred was then ambushed and murdered at Wiheal, with Cnuts connivance. Uchtred was too powerful and Cnut could not permit him to continue as a possible rival.

Uhtred's son Ealdred avenged his father by killing Thurbrand, but Ealdred in turn was killed by Thurbrand's son, Carl. Waltheof, Ealdred’s grandson had his soldiers kill most of Carl's sons and grandsons in 1070.
