List of the kings of Bernicia

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bernicia was an Anglo-Saxon kingdom in what is now southeastern Scotland . Some of the names and dates of the first kings are legendary, and the information is largely secured by Æthelfrith at the latest .

Esa (after 500)
Eoppa (around 520)
Ida 547-559
Glappa 559-560
Adda 560-568
Æthelric 568-572
Theodric 572-579
Frithuwald 579-585
Hussa 585-593
Æthelfrith 593-616
St. Edwin 616-633
Eanfrith 633-634
St. Oswald 634-642
Oswiu 642-670

Oswiu finally unites Bernicia with Deira to form the Kingdom of Northumbria .

An alternative chronology has the following order:

Ida: 547-559
Æthelric: 559–579 (partly parallel with Glappa and Adda)
Glappa: 570-571
Adda: 571-579
Hussa: 579-586
Theodoric: 586-593
Æthelfrith: 593-616
