BIOGRAPHY Eric Delderfield:

 "Eadred succeeded [his brother Edmund, and reigned from 946-955. He] is best remembered for his defeat of a challenge to West Saxon supremacy from Eric Bloodaxe, King of York, who attempted to rid Northumbria of southern dominance.  Expelled by Eadred in 948, Eric returned to fight for Northumbrian independence, but was again defeated, at Stainmore in 954.  By the end of his reign, Eadred was king of all England."
