http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ealdred,_Earl_of_BerniciaEaldred was Earl of 
Bernicia from 1020/25 until his murder in 1038. He was the son of 
Uhtred, Earl of Northumbria, who was murdered by Thurbrand the Hold in 1016 with the connivance of 
Canute. Ealdred's mother was Ecgfrida, daughter of 
Aldhun, bishop of 
Durham.
Ealdred succeeded his uncle 
Eadwulf Cudel as Earl of Bernicia in 1020/25, and some time probably in the mid 1020s he killed Thurbrand in revenge for his father's death. In 1038 Ealdred was murdered by Thurbrand's son, Carl. He was succeeded as Earl of Bernicia by his brother, another 
Eadwulf, who was murdered by King 
Harthacanute in 1041.
Ealdred's daughter, Aelfflaed, was the first wife of 
Siward, Earl of Northumbria and her son, and Ealdred's grandson, was 
Waltheof, Earl of Northumbria.
