Waltheof I, Earl of Northumbria
- Waltheof I, Earl of Northumbria
Waltheof I was the earl of Northumbria (963-995), the son and successor of Osulf I. His name is Scandinavian and implies that he had Viking ancestors. It remained in his family when Earl Siward married his great-granddaughter and named his son Waltheof. This son of Siward became Waltheof II, Earl of Northumbria. Nothing is known about Waltheof I's reign, despite its length.
