Osulf I of Bamburgh
Osulf (fl. 946—54) was high-reeve of Bamburgh and ruler of Northumbria. Sometimes called "earl", he is more surely the first recorded high-reeve of Bamburgh and the man who, after assisting in the death of its last independent ruler Erik Bloodaxe, administered the York-based Kingdom of Northumbria when it was taken over by the Wessex-based King Eadred of England in 954.
==Origins==
Osulf appears at least 5 times in witness lists for charters, some of which may be genuine, in the years 946, 949, and 950. In 946 and 949 he witnessed charters as "high reeve" 〔(Sawyer 520 (PASE) ) & (Sawyer 544 (PASE) )〕 In 949 he witnessed an Evesham grant as well as a grant by King Eadred to Canterbury Cathedral as ''dux''.〔(Sawyer 550 (PASE) ) & (Sawyer 546 (PASE) )〕 And in 950 an ''Osulf Bebbanburg'' is alleged to have witnessed as ''Eorl''.〔(Sawyer 552a (PASE) )〕
He is the first man specifically designated "high-reeve" of Bamburgh. High-reeve is Old English ''heah-gerefa'', which Alfred Smyth thought was influenced by the Scottish word ''mormaer'', which possibly has the same meaning ("High Steward").〔Smyth, ''Warlords and Holy Men'', p. 235〕 Judging by the ''North People's Law'', a high-reeve was not the same as an ealdorman (''dux''), having only half an ealdorman's wergild.〔Seebohm, ''Tribal Custom in Anglo-Saxon Law'', p. 363; (North People's Law (Halsall) )〕
Osulf's origins are unclear. A genealogy in the text ''De Northumbria post Britannos'', recording the ancestry of Waltheof Earl of Northampton (and, briefly, Northumbria), suggests that Osulf was the son of Eadulf of Bamburgh, the ′King of the Northern English′ who died in 913.〔McGuigan, ′Ælla and the descendants of Ivar′, pp. 24–25.〕 Richard Fletcher and David Rollason thought he might be the Osulf ''Dux'' who had witnessed charters further south in the 930s, which if true would extend Osulf's ''floruit'' back to 934.〔Fletcher, ''Bloodfeud'', p. 42; Rollason, ''Northumbria'', p. 266; see also (Oswulf 14 ) at PASE〕
