Rædwulf of Northumbria
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rædwulf was king of Northumbria for a short time in 844. His descent is not known, but it is possible that he was a kinsman of Osberht and Ælle.
Rædwulf became king when Æthelred son of Eanred was deposed. Coins from his reign are known, but other than the report in the Flores Historiarum of his death fighting pagans (i.e. Vikings), nothing more is known. Æthelred was restored after Rædwulf's death.
