Eadwulf II[1] (fl. AD 968–970),[2] nicknamed Evil-child (Old English: Yfelcild[3]), was ruler of Bamburgh in the latter half of the tenth century.[4][5] Although Eadwulf is sometimes described as the Earl of Northumbria, he ruled only a northern portion of Northumbria, a polity centred on Bamburgh that once stretched from the Firth of Forth to the River Tees.[6]
