Oswulf Life story
Oswulf was king of Northumbria from 758 to 759. He succeeded his father Eadberht, who had abdicated and joined the monastery at York. Oswulf's uncle was Ecgbert, Archbishop of York. In spite of his father's long reign, and his powerful uncle, Oswulf did not hold the throne for long.
