Earl Waltheof II of Northumberland 
Waltheof was born about 1046 in Northumberland, England. Waltheof's father was Earl Siward Biornsson of Northumbria and his mother is Aelfled of Bernicia. His paternal grandfather was Biorn Ulfiusson; his maternal grandfather was Aldred of Bernicia. He had a sister named Sibyl. He was the younger of the two children. He died due to beheaded on May 31st, 1076 in St. Giles Hill, Winchester, England. He was buried in June 1076 in Crowland, Lincolnshire, England.General Notes
Earl of Northumberland, Lord of Bramburgh, 1st Earl of Huntingdon
"In the Spring and Summer of 1075, the Earls of Norfolk [RALPH DE GAEL
(RIN 1028)] and Hereford [Roger*, son of WILLIAM FITZOSBERN (RIN 1171)]
were conspiring to seize England for themselves, and they enticed
Waltheof to join in. He quickly changed his mind, and reconciled with the
King [WILLIAM THE CONQUERER], who treated the matter lightly, but at
Christmas 1075, Waltheof was brought to trial, his wife (THE KING's
niece) being a witness against him. When the trial resumed in May,
Waltheof was found guilty and beheaded on St. Giles's Hill (I suppose this
is in Winchester, which is where he was tried) on 31 May 1076.
Waltheof and JUDITH had no sons and two known daughters, (1) MAUD,
who married first SIMON DE SAINT LIZ (Senlis) and second DAVID I KING
OF SCOTS, and (2) JUDITH OR ALICE, who married RALPH DE TONI the
younger. There may have been a third daughter who married a Robert son
of Richard, but this may be a confusion with a daughter of MAUD and
SIMON.
