Ruled Northumbria from around 883 until death in 895. Became king after being appointed as a puppet ruler by the Vikings who had invaded the region. His reign saw efforts to consolidate power in Northumbria amidst ongoing challenges from both internal factions and external Viking threats. Correlation exists between his rule and attempts to restore Northumbrian independence in a turbulent time. Death in 895 prompted a succession struggle among local factions.
