Death*2 December 1016 Wighill, Yorkshire, England, (murdered)3,4,5 
DNB* Uhtred, earl of Bamburgh (d. 1016), magnate, was the son of Waltheof (fl. c.994–1006) and an unknown mother. Waltheof was probably the son of Eadwulf, the son of Oswulf (d. 966), the son of Ealdred of Bamburgh (d. 933?); the family had ruled Bernicia (Northumbria north of the Tyne) since the Scandinavian invasion and settlement of the late ninth century. The northern part of their earldom (Lothian) was ceded to the Scots, probably by 973. Uhtred, together with the entire population of the land lying between the rivers Tees and Coquet, assisted Aldhun, bishop of the Community of St Cuthbert, in clearing the site at Durham and relocating the episcopal see from Chester-le-Street in 995. According to the De obsessione Dunelmi, a Durham tract on the history of the earldom of Northumbria, the principal theme of which was the right of Durham to certain estates, Uhtred married Aldhun's daughter, Ecgfrida, probably at about this time. The marriage brought Uhtred certain vills of the church of St Cuthbert, namely Barmpton, Skirningham, Elton, Carlton, School Aycliffe, and Monk Hesleden in the south of co. Durham. This marriage has been seen as part of the church of St Cuthbert's policy of recruiting allies, although the earl would also have gained from an alliance with this powerful ecclesiastical institution. Uhtred was to retain control of these vills as long as he lived honourably in marriage with Ecgfrida.

During an attack on Durham by Malcolm II, king of Scots, Uhtred's father, Waltheof, described as being of great age and thus unable to lead the counter-attack, shut himself up in the fortress at Bamburgh, leaving the resistance to the Scots to his son, whom the De obsessione describes as a young man of great energy and skilled in warfare. Leading a force composed of troops from both Bernicia and York, Uhtred defeated the Scots. The severed heads of the Scots were washed by women, who received payment of a cow each, and fixed on stakes to Durham's walls. Uhtred's victory brought him to the attention of Æthelred II who recognized him as earl even though Waltheof seems still to have been alive, adding the earldom of York in succession to the Mercian Ælfhelm. The king's grant effectively reunited the two parts of Northumbria under the earls of Bamburgh. In this respect Uhtred may have been seen as a political counterweight to the Scandinavians at York who may still have harboured thoughts of a separate Scandinavian-dominated north.

On his return from Æthelred's court, probably about 1006, Uhtred dismissed Ecgfrida and Bishop Aldhun recovered the aforementioned vills. Uhtred then married Sige, daughter of Styr, son of Ulf, in an attempt to bolster his power in the southern portion of his combined earldom by uniting with the leader of Æthelred's supporters in York. According to the De obsessione, the marriage was contracted on the understanding that Uhtred would kill Styr's enemy Thurbrand. Similarly, the marriage of Uhtred's first wife, Ecgfrida, to Kilvert, son of the Yorkshire thegn Ligulf, may also have been an attempt by Uhtred's ally, Aldhun, to establish political support in Yorkshire. Shortly after Swein Forkbeard's invasion in 1013, Uhtred and the northern nobles submitted to the Danish king. It seems that Æthelred was successful in recovering Uhtred's loyalty, possibly through the latter's marriage to his daughter Ælfgifu. Uhtred remained faithful to the West Saxon cause despite Cnut's promise of substantial rewards, and accompanied Edmund Ironside on campaign in Staffordshire, Cheshire, and Shrewsbury against Eadric Streona. Cnut replied by invading Northumbria, forcing Uhtred to submit. Summoned to Cnut's court and granted safe conduct, Uhtred was murdered by Thurbrand Hold, presumably that enemy of Styr. Forty of Uhtred's men were slaughtered with him at Wiheal, identified as Wighill, near Tadcaster, in Yorkshire. Although a comparatively late source puts Uhtred at the battle of Carham leading the English to defeat by the Scots in 1018, it is now generally accepted that this was an error and that his death occurred in 1016.

Uhtred was succeeded at Bamburgh by his brother Eadulf Cudel ‘a very lazy and cowardly man’ (Symeon of Durham, Opera, 1.218), and at York by Erik, son of Hákon, jarl of Hlathir (Tro6
