Æthelfrith (died c. 616) was King of Bernicia from c. 593 until his death around 616 AD at the Battle of the River Idle. He became the first Bernician king to also rule the neighboring land of Deira, giving him an important place in the development and the unification of the later kingdom of Northumbria.
Aethelfrith was the king of Bernicia (from 592/593) and of Deira, which together formed Northumbria. Aethelfrith was the son of Aethelric and grandson of Ida, king of Bernicia, and his reign marks the true beginning of the continuous history of a united Northumbria and, indeed, of England.

Etelfrido di Bernicia. Etelfrido (in inglese antico Æthelfrith; ... – 616) regnò sulla Bernicia (odierno Northumberland, Inghilterra settentrionale) dal 593 al 616 e nel 604 conquistò anche la corona della Deira. Unificò così questi due reami, in seguito conosciuti col nome di Northumbia.
Æthelfrith ( / ˈæθəlfrɪθ /; died c. 904/915) was an ealdorman of southern Mercia, who flourished in the last two decades of the ninth century and the first decade of the tenth century. His father is unknown. He was married to Æthelgyth, daughter of Æthelwulf; Æthelwulf is unidentified, but a possible candidate is King Alfred the Great ...
Eanfrith, figlio di Aethelfrith (633- 634, re della sola Bernicia) La Bernicia e la Deira sono nuovamente riuniti nel regno di Northumbria (a partire dal 634), ma inizialmente la Deira ebbe sovrani distinti, dipendenti dai re di Northumbria, i quali appartenevano alla stirpe reale di Bernicia.
Aethelfrith. Son of Aethelric, became king of Bernicia in 593 and added the neighbouring kingdom of Deira. His first wife was Bebba; the second was Acha, daughter of Aelle, king of Deira, by whom he had seven sons and a daughter, Aebbe, who founded the monastery at Coldingham.
When Aethelfrith was born in Bernicia (the most northerly Saxon kingdom based around the Bamburgh and Lindisfarne area) he was probably a long way down the line of succession. The twenty years before he became king are very confusing and no less than four men including his father Aethelric and (probably) his uncles Hussa, Theodric and Frithuwulf are listed as ruling.
