Everything about Theodric Of Bernicia totally explained
Theodric ruled from
572 to
579. He was the fifth known ruler of the
Anglo-Saxon kingdom of
Bernicia.
Theodric was the son of
Ida of Bernicia, founder of the kingdom of Bernicia. Little is known of Theodric's life and reign although
Urien, the king of
Rheged, was said to have subjected Theodric and his sons to a three day siege on the island of
Lindisfarne. According to medieval Welsh poetry (such as the poem
Gweith Argoed Llwyfain (The Battle of Argoed Llwyfain or Battle of Leeming Lane) from the
Book of Taliesin), Theodric was killed in battle by Urien's son,
Owain mab Urien, after Theodric demanded hostages and Owain refused to give in.
The dates for Theodric's rule are conjecture; the earliest authorities differ widely on the order and the regnal years of the kings between the death of Ida and the beginning of
Æthelfrith's rule in
592/
593.
