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. For this reason, it has been suggested that Ceolwulf had spent time in Ireland , perhaps studying to enter into religion. Be that as it may, his reign appears to have met with the approval of clerics such as Bede and William of Malmesbury . As said, Ceolwulf was deposed for a short period in the autumn of 731 or 732, but quickly restored. The details of the attempted coup are unclear. Bishop Acca of Hexham is said to have been driven from his seat, and Alric and Esc killed. Ceolwulf was succeeded by his first cousin Eadberht of Northumbria Eadberht . His death is recorded in the winter of 764&ndash 765.

Seaxburh was a wife of Cenwalh of Wessex who according to tradition ruled Wessex as queen for a year following Cenwalh s death in 674.

He had previously been married to a sister of Penda of Mercia . The date at which they married is unknown and no children of their marriage are recorded, although it may be that Seaxburh ruled as regent for an unknown son, a practice well attested in the Frankish Empire , where queens such as Brunhilda of Austrasia Brunhilde and Fredegund wielded power on behalf of their sons and grandsons.
