Ecgfrith (645 – 687) was the King of Deira from 664 to 670, then the King of Northumbria from then until his death.
Biography[edit | edit source]
By 654, Ecgfrith visited the hermit Cuthbert,[1] asking him to take back up his charge. Cuthbert was then later consecrated in York on 26 March 685.[2]
Ecgfrith's visit to Cuthbert was later compiled by the historian monk Bede in the Vita S Cuthberti by the early 700s. Said work was then later adapted into an illustrated codex in the 12th century.[1]
