Eadwulf III of Bamburgh

Eadulf III or Eadwulf III (died 1041) was the earl of Bernicia from 1038 until his death. He was a son of Uhtred the Bold and succeeded his brother Ealdred. According to the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, he was betrayed by King Harthacnut and killed. He was the last of the ancient Bernician line of earls to rule before his son Osulf usurped the Northumbrian earldom in 1067.

The name of Eadwulf given as "Eadulf eorl" in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle.

In the Historia Regum Anglorum, Eadwulf is recorded as having led a military campaign against the Britons of Cumbria in 1038. The Cumbrians may have lost the lands which they had held south of the Solway at this time.

gollark: Oh, and because of the whole inefficient SVG format it would be an overly large SVG.

gollark: Most of the high-power stuff like that is task-specific and only really usable for multiplying big matrices by vectors, and such.

gollark: It would be nontrivial to make something render SVGs on so much computing power without ridiculous overhead/waste.

gollark: Well, according to estimates, my brain would require about an exaflop/s of computing power to run.

gollark: > It is similar in concept to SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) but much simpler. Compared to SVG Tiny, which isn't actually tiny, it does not have features for text, multimedia, interactivity, linking, scripting, animation, XSLT, DOM, combination with raster graphics such as JPEG formatted textures, etc.
