Eardwulf

Eardwulf was king of Northumbria in England. He took the throne on 14 May 796, having survived in 790 an attempt on his life ordered by King Æthelred, which was seen as a sign of divine favour. He was deposed in 806 and went into exile; according to a Frankish record, he returned in 808. The date of his death has not survived. Several historians identify him with Saint Hardulph, to whom the monastery of Breedon on the Hill is dedicated. He is a saint of the undivided Church, venerated in the West.

His commemoration falls on 21 August (new calendar); the Churches on the Old Calendar keep the same day of the Menaion on 3 September of the civil calendar.
