The Battle of Stainmore was a battle, likely between the Earldom of Bernicia, led by Osulf, and the forces of the last Norse king of Jórvík (York), Eric Bloodaxe. The battle resulted in Eric's being slain by Earl Maccus, the son of Olaf, the dissolution of the Kingdom of Jórvík and the integration of its territories into those of Bernicia (as the Earldom of Northumbria), under King Edred of England.^[1].
