Notes - Ealdred of Bamburgh (also Ealdred II of Bamburgh and Ealdred Uhtredsson) was the oldest son of Uchtred of Bamburgh, Ealdorman of Northumbria and his 1st wife Ecgfrida, daughter of Bishop Aldhun of Durham, and was born about 997 (between 995 and 1006).
Ealdred's parents divorced in 1006 and Ealdred likely grew up in the household of his grandfather Aldhun, the Bishop of Durham. Ealdred's mother remarried and gave him a little sister, Sigrid, but divorced a 2nd time (was repuidated) and finished out her life living with her father.
Ealdred's father Uchtred married several more times, giving him at least 3 more siblings: Eadulf, Gospatrick, and Ealdgyth.
His father Uchtred was killed in 1016 by Thurbrand the Hold, starting a blood feud that lasted many years and several generations.
Ealdred's uncle Eadwulf Cudel was made Earl of Northumbria and upon his death in 1020 Ealdred succeeded him.
In 1024 Ealdred killed Thurbrand the Hold in revenge for his father's death.
In 1038 Ealdred was murdered by Thurbrand's son, Carl. He was succeeded as Earl of Bernicia by his 1/2 brother, Eadwulf.
1038 in Risewood Forest, Northumberlandshire, England; Ealdred was murdered in 1038 by Carl, son of Thurbrand the Hold in continuation of the Bloodfeud.
Although the name of his wife is not known, before his death Ealdred had five daughters, three of whom are recorded as having borne the same name:
- Ealdgyth who married Ligulf of Lumley
- Aelfflaed
- Aelfflaed
- Aelfflaed, second wife of Siward, Earl of Northumbria; and mother of Waltheof, Earl of Northumbria.
- Ethelthritha
The infamous Northumbrian Blood Feud was finally ended when Ealdred's grandson, Waltheof, had most of Carl's sons and grandsons killed in the 1070s.
