Ida of Bernicia
From Free net encyclopedia
Ida or Ida the Flamebearer (died 559) was a ruler (probably the founder) of the Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Bernicia between 547 and 559.
The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle records him as the son of Eoppa of Bernicia, grandson of Esa and great-grandson of Ingwy. He was married to Bearnoch. According to some sources they had 8 children of whom 6 became kings. The best source for information on Ida is the historian Nennius.
Ida, an Angle, is said to have landed at Flamborough subsequently making Bamburgh his capital.
