Everything about Adda Of Bernicia totally explained
Adda was the third known ruler of the
Anglo-Saxon Kingdom of Bernicia which he ruled from
560 to
568.
Adda was one of several sons born to
Ida, the first ruler of Bernicia, as was his successor
Æthelric.
Although some sources claim that he led the Bernicians to victory against
Peredur and Gwrgi of Ebrauc, this hardly seems probable. The Battle of Caer Greu is almost always given as 580, some 12 years after the date most often given for Adda's death
(External Link
). It is feasible the king involved in that battle was Ælle of Deira. Certainly, Ebrauc ceased to exist as a British kingdom after Caer Greu, with Deira taking over its territory.
Nothing else is known for certain about Adda's life or reign. The earliest authorities differ widely on the order and the regnal years of the Bernician kings between the death of Ida and the beginning of
Æthelfrith's rule in
592/
593.
