Eadred: Controlled Rage in a King
The people of Northumbria got the message, and Eric was "let go." Eadred reigned again in Northumbria, although for a short time only. The Northumbrians yearned for a Norse ruler again and in 951 accepted Olaf Sihtricson as their overlord. Eadred returned soon thereafter and reasserted his authority.
For all this effort, Eadred didn't live long enough to really enjoy his position, or so it would seem. He died in 955.
