  • Notes 
    • Son with Uchtred: Ealdred of Bamburgh; with 2nd husband Kilvert a daughter: Sigrid/Sigfrida

      Ecgfrida, was the daughter of Aldun (Ealdhun), Bishop of Durham, born about 973 in Durham, England. In 995 her father moved his see from Chester-le-Street to the present day location of Durham Cathedral and Uchtred of Bamburgh assisted him in preparing the new site for the church. It is at this time that Ecgfida met and married Uchtred. They had one son Ealdred born about 997. In 1006 Uchtred repudiated Ecgfrida (divorced) and she returned to her father.

      Ecgfrida, married again to Kilvert Fitz Ligwulf and had a daughter named Sigrid. Ecgfrida was again repudiated, returned to her father and became a nun.

      Ecgfrida died in 1089, and was buried at Durham.

      Ecgfrida's son Ealdred succeeded his uncle Eadwulf Cudel as Earl of Bernicia in 1020/25 and died in 1038 in the bloodfeud started by the murder of his father Uchtred by Thurbrand.

      Ecgfrida's daughter Sigrid, married three times, one husband being Eadwulf, the son of her mother's 1st husband Uchtred and his 2nd wife, her half-brother Ealdred's half-brother.
