The Battle of Stainmore was probably fought between the Earldom of
Jórvík (York), Eric Bloodaxe. According to Frank Stenton, the battle resulted in Eric's being slain by Maccus, the son of Olaf, the dissolution of the Kingdom of Jórvík and the integration of its territories into those of Bamburgh as the Earldom of Northumbria.[1]
