Person
Oswulf of Northumbria
Oswulf was king of Northumbria from 758 to 759, the son of King Eadberht, who abdicated in his favour to become a monk at York. Within a year, on 24 July 759, he was murdered by members of his own household. His death opened a period of rapid turnover in which several Northumbrian kings were deposed or killed.
