Everything about Eanfrith Of Bernicia totally explained
Eanfrith (
590-
634) was briefly
King of Bernicia from
633 to
634
Eanfrith married a Pictish princess and had a son,
Talorcan, who later became a king of the Picts (
653–
657). Edwin was killed by the army of
Cadwallon ap Cadfan of
Gwynedd and
Penda of Mercia at the
Battle of Hatfield Chase in October 633 If there was a friendly relationship between Eanfrith and Cadwallon at first, however, it must not have lasted, since Bede reports that Eanfrith went to Cadwallon "with only twelve chosen soldiers" in an attempt to negotiate peace, but Cadwallon had him killed.
The year in which he and Osric ruled was subsequently deemed so abhorrent because of their paganism that it was decided to add that year to the length of the reign of the Christian
Oswald of Bernicia (Eanfrith's brother), who defeated Cadwallon and came to rule both Bernicia and Deira, so as to ignore the brief reigns of Eanfrith and Osric.
