Osric of Northumbria

Osric (also Osricus; * 700, † May 9, 729 ) was in the years 718-729 King of the Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Northumbria.

Osric was probably a son of Aldfrith ( 686-705 ) and his wife Cuthburga as well as a younger brother of Osred I. ( 718-729 ). He came out of the house Æthelfrith ( 592-616 ).

When King Cenred out of the house Occa ( ​​Ocga ) died in the year 718, Osric succeeded him on the throne. Details of Osric's reign are not known. As his successor he appointed in the year 729, shortly before his death Ceolwulf, the brother of his predecessor Cenred out of the house Occa ( ​​Ocga ), which thus finally inherited the previous dynasty. Osric died on May 9, 729 violent deaths.
