Rulers of Bamburgh
From the destruction of the Anglo-Saxon Kingdom of Northumbria by the Vikings in 867 to the early eleventh century, Bamburgh and the surrounding region (the former Bernicia), the northern part of Northumbria, was ruled for a short period by shadowy kings, then by a series of ealdormen (Latin duces, Old English eorl, modern English earl) and high-reeves (from Old English heah-gerefa). Several of these men ruled all Northumbria.
- King Egbert I (867–872)[1]

- Uhtred 'the Bold' of Northumbria (1006–16), ruled all Northumbria, son of Waltheof of Bamburgh
- Eadwulf II 'Cudel' of Bamburgh (died 1019), son of Waltheof of Bamburgh
- Ealdred II of Bamburgh (died 1038) son of Uhtred 'the Bold' of Northumbria
