slew Thruebrand and was then murdered by Thurebrand's son Karl

Note: Stuart's dates don't work in this line. Turton confirms relationships, gives few 
dates. 

I have disconnected him from having Uchtred of Northumbria as father because there 
is simply no way for the dates to fit what Stuart shows.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earl_Ealdred,_son_of_Uchtred
Ealdred was Earl of Bernicia from 1020/25 until his murder in 1038. He was the son of 
Uhtred, Earl of Northumbria, who was murdered by Thurbrand the Hold in 1016 with 
the connivance of Cnut. Ealdred's mother was Ecgfrida, daughter of Aldhun, bishop of 
Durham.

Ealdred succeeded his uncle Eadwulf Cudel as Earl of Bernicia in 1020/25, and some 
time probably in the mid 1020s he killed Thurbrand in revenge for his father's death. In 
1038 Ealdred was murdered by Thurbrand's son, Carl. He was succeeded as Earl of 
Bernicia by his brother, another Eadwulf. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle asserts that in 
1041 Eadwulf was "betrayed" by King Harthacnut.[1] The "betrayal" seems to have 
been carried out by Siward, Earl of Northumbria; since when the Libellus de Exordio 
and other sources write about the same event, they say that Siward attacked and 
killed Eadulf.[2] It was thus that Siward became earl of all Northumbria, perhaps the 
first person to do so since Uhtred the Bold.

Ealdred's daughter Ealdgyth was married to Ligulf, who was murdered in 1080.[3] 
Ealdred's daughter, Aelfflaed, was the first wife of Siward and her son (Ealdred's 
grandson) was Waltheof, Earl of Northumbria
