• Notes

  He became King after his older brother was murdered and immediately faced another Viking invasion led by Eric Bloodaxe. Eric took control of much of the northern part of Northumbria, and there were some years when control of the area see-sawed back and forth between the two kings. Eventually Eadred took full control of "England" but died shortly after.
