Eowils and Halfdan (Healfdan) were joint Kings of Northumbria in England.Their reign began with the death of Æthelwold of Wessex killed by Edward the Elder after Æthelwold’s Revolt in 902. They ruled the Danish Kingdom for over 8 years before meeting the English King themselves at the Battle of Tettenhall. Both Eowils and Halfdan were left dead on the field as the Viking army was decisively defeated by allied English forces.The co-Kings were succeeded by Ragnall ua Ímair.
