Icon of person Osric of Northumbria

Osric was king of Northumbria from the death of Coenred in 718 until his death on 9 May 729. Symeon of Durham calls him a son of Aldfrith of Northumbria, which would make him a brother, or perhaps a half-brother, of Osred. Alternatively, he may have been a son of King Eahlfrith of Deira, and thus a first cousin of Osred. Bede reports little of Osric's reign, but records that comets were seen at his death, a sign of ill omen. Read more on Wikipedia
