Identified as daughter of Ealdhun, Bishop of Durham (d. 1018) and wife of Uchtred the Bold - W.H.Turton, "The Plantagenet Ancestry" (Baltimore: Gen. Pub. Co., 1968), p. 141. Le Bateman (LeBateman@NetZero.Net) reported via email, July, 2001: "'Old
Germanic Principles of Name Giving' by Woolf has Egfrid's name spelled Ecgthryth. Actually for the name to make the dg as in Ridge or Edge Sweord. Ecg, cg would have to be present. And Aldwin as Aeldhun. Also though you should I know Uhtred and his
first wife had a son named Thored. There was another son, but cannot recall his name. Uhtred's grandfather was Ealdred and his greatgrandfather Ealdulf also spelled Ealdwulf. Was wondering who Styr Wulf's son was. Ealdwulf is supposedly descended
from Ida the Flame Bearer."Notes:

"The Old Lords of Raby," by John L. Low (booklet, 1879, used at Bodleian Library, Oxford, England, 5/87) states that Waltheof was (Saxon) Earl of Northumberland at the time the City of Durham was founded and resided at Bamburgh Castle where his son
Uchtred stopped a major Scottish invasion of England. His name is given as Siward, Earl of Northumberland, Northumbria,
Northampton and Huntingdon by Carr P. Collins, "Royal Ancestors of Magna Charta Barons" (Dallas, 1959, pp. 199-200). "The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle" edition of 1961 indicates on a chart, p.218, that this person is "Waltheof, Earl of Northumbria beyond the
Tees [river], probably descendant of the high-reeves of Bamburgh." Brian Thompsett of the University of Hull (http://www.dcs.hull.ac.uk/cgi-bin/gedlkup/n=royal?royal01771) gives his death as 1006 and his accession as ca. 965.Children:
