Selected biography
Deira and
Bernicia
- which would later become known as
Northumbria
- from about 616 until his death. He converted to
Christianity
and in 627 was
baptised
in
York
; after he fell at the
Battle of Hatfield Chase
, he was venerated as a
saint
.
Edwin was the son of
British kingdom of
Elmet
following a campaign in either 616 or 626. Elmet had probably been subject to Mercia and then to Edwin. The much larger
kingdom of Lindsey
appears to have been taken over c. 625, after the death of king Raedwald.
