History of Northumbrian Kings from Ida to Ecgberht I

Founded by Ida, the Bernicia and Deiran royal houses played significant roles in the formation of Northumbrian kingdoms, with leaders such as Edwin, Oswald, and Oswiu shaping the region's history through battles and alliances. The Northumbrian kings faced challenges, including battles against Mercia and the Picts, as well as internal power struggles. The lineage continued through rulers like Ecgfrith, Aldfrith, and Osred I, influenced by political turbulence and external threats.
