Eadred (also Edred) (923 – 23 November 955) was King of the English from 946 until his death in 955, in succession to his elder brother Edmund I.

Eadred (bishop)

Eadred (died 1042) was Bishop of Durham in around 1040. He had been the head of the cathedral chapter when Edmund the previous bishop died.
