IETHELFRITH

This article appears in Volume V01, Page 290 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: I27-INV
IETHELFRITH , king of Northumbria, is said to have come to the
throne
  in A.D. 593, being the son of IEthelric (probably reigned 568-572). He married Acha, daughter of Ella (Mle), king of Deira, whom he succeeded probably in 6o5, expelling his son Edwin. In 603 he repelled the attack of Aidan, king of the Dalriad Scots, at Daegsastan, defeating him with
great
  loss. The
appearance
  of Hering, son of Hussa, iEthelfrith's predecessor, on the side of the invaders seems to indicate family quarrels in the royal
house
  of Bernicia. Later in his reign, probably in 614, he defeated the Welsh in a
great
 
battle
  at Chester and massacred the monks of Bangor who were assembled to aid them by their prayers. This war may have been due partly to iEthelfrith's persecution of Edwin, but it had a strategic importance in the separation of the North Welsh from the
Strathclyde
  Britons. In 617 IEthelfrith was defeated and slain
II
at the river Idle by Rmdwald of
East
  Anglia, whom Edwin had persuaded to take up his cause.
See Bede, Chronica Majora, 531; Hist. Ecc. (Plummer) i. 34, ii. 2; Saxon Chronicle, s.a. 593, 603, 605, 6,6; Hist. Brittonum, 57, 63 ; Annales Cambriae, s.a. 613. (F. G. M. B.)
