king of See also:Northumbria succeeded his See also:father See also:Oswio in 671. He was married to iEthelthryth, daughter of See also:Anna of See also:East Anglia, who, however, took the See also:veil shortly after Ecgfrith's See also:accession, a step which possibly led to his See also:long See also:quarrel with See also:Wilfrid See also:archbishop of See also:York. Ecgfrith married a second wife, Eormenburg, before 678, the See also:year in which he expelled Wilfrid from his See also:kingdom. See also:Early in his reign he defeated the Picts who had risen in revolt. Between 671 and 675 Ecgfrith defeated See also:Wulfhere of See also:Mercia and seized See also:Lindsey. In 679, however, he was defeated by !See also:Ethelred of Mercia, who had married his See also:sister Osthryth, on the See also:river See also:Trent. Ecgfrith's See also:brother IElfwine was killed in the See also:battle, and the See also:province of Lindsey was given up when See also:peace was restored at the intervention of See also:Theodore of See also:Canterbury. In 684 Ecgfrith sent an expedition to See also:Ireland under his See also:general Berht, which seems to have been unsuccessful. In 685, against the See also:advice of See also:Cuthbert, he led a force against the Picts under his See also:cousin Burde, son of Bile, was lured by a feigned See also:flight into their See also:mountain fastnesses, and slain at Nechtanesmere (now Dunnichen) in See also:Forfarshire.
