Requested move[edit]

I think the page should be moved to Alhfrith of Deira. Checking usage in sources:

  • Alchfrith – Blair, Campbell (The Anglo-Saxons)
  • Alchfrid - Penguin Bede
  • Ealhfrith - Kirby
  • Alhfrith – Stenton, ASE vol 4., Blackwell Enc., Yorke x 2, Zaluckyj

I think that's clear enough. Mike Christie (talk) 02:47, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The PASE goes with Eahlfrith, but I have no problem with Alhfrith. Alchfrith and Alchfrid would be not so good. Angus McLellan (Talk) 23:58, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Disappearance[edit]

He requested to go on pilgrimage to Rome. His father refuses. He then disappears from history and historians believe he attacked his father in a rebellion over religious differences that have already been sorted at Whitby? There is no evidence that this was the case and it is all just theory... but it seems to me a more plausible theory is that he defied his father's wishes and went on pilgrimage anyway and something befell him on the journey... either sickness, bandits, religious calling to be a monk, ran off with an Italian noble's daughter... who knows? But it seems a lot more plausible that he went on pilgrimage than he rebelled over a resolved issue. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 5.254.151.57 (talk) 22:33, 15 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
