  Notes	[dunbar_tree.FTW] "The Old Lords of Raby," by John L. Low (booklet, 1879, used at Bodleian Library, Oxford, England, 5/87) states that Waltheof was (Saxon) Earl of Northumberland at the time the City of Durham was founded and resided at Bamburgh Castle where his son Uchtred stopped a major Scottish invasion of England. His name is given as Siward, Earl of Northumberland, Northumbria, Northampton and Huntingdon by Carr P. Collins, "Royal Ancestors of Magna Charta Barons" (Dallas, 1959, pp. 199-200). "The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle" edition of 1961 indicates on a chart, p.218, that this person is "Waltheof, Earl of Northumbria beyond the Tees [river], probably descendant of the high-reeves of Bamburgh." Brian Thompsett of the University of Hull (http://www.dcs.hull.ac.uk/cgi-bin/gedlkup/n=royal?royal01771) gives his death as 1006 and his accession as ca. 965.
