Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Uhtred (fl. x 911 926, 930 50, and perhaps 955 58) was an ealdorman based in Derbyshire in the 10th century. His date of birth and origins are unclear, although it has been suggested by some modern historians that he came from Northumbria. He is thought to have been the thegn who, having purchased land at Hope and Ashford in Derbyshire from the Vikings sometime before 911, had it confirmed by King Æthelstan in 926. He was ealdorman sometime in or before 930. It appears that he witnessed charters during the remainder of the reign of Æthelstan, the reign of Edmund I (939 46) and the reign of Eadred (946 55), and the last king appears to have granted Uhtred land at Bakewell in 949. It is thought that Uhtred may have used this land to found a minster there. An Uhtred witnesses charters from 955 to 958, in the reigns of Eadwig the Fair (955 59) and Edgar the Peaceable (957 75), but some historians believe this to be a different Uhtred, perhaps Uhtred Cild.
