===Parents===Uctred was the son of Walleof or W a l d e f .
====Disputed Parents====There is no evidence for the statement in the ' ' C i t y o f Sheffield'' that Uctred was the son of Waltheof who married Ju d i t h o f L ens in 1070. Waltheof, earl of Northumbria, and a l s o a n a chronistically called earl of Huntingdon, (born circa 1050-died 1 0 7 6 ) , w as the second son of the Dane, Siward, earl of Northumbria (d. 1 0 5 5 ) , a nd his first wife, �lffl�d, daughter of Earl Ealdred, son of Ear l U h t r e d, and he married Judith, the niece of William I, king of Englan d a n d d u k e of Normandy,[C. P. Lewis, `Waltheof, e ar l o f N o r thumbria (c.1050-1076)', ''Oxford Dictionary of National Biog r ap hy ' ' , Oxford University Press, 2004 https://doi.org/10.1093/ref:odnb / 2 8 6 4 6, accessed 26 March 2024). Waltheof (c.1050-1076): doi:10.1093/re f : o d n b/28646.] Waltheof and Judith had two daughters:# Maud, born b e t w e e n 1070 and 1076, married 1) Simon (I) de Senlis, earl of Northampt o n a n d o f H untingdon and 2) David, later king of Scots;[# Alice, also known as Judith, born between 1070 and 1076, mar r i e d R a lph de Tosny] or Adelise married Raoul I I I o f T o s ny;
Some sources state Waltheof and Judith had a third daughter.
In 1086, Waltheof's widow, Judith, owned some 200 rural manors mainly s c a t t e red between Lincoln, Leicester, Northampton, Bedford, and Cambridg e , w i t h h ouses in several east midland towns.
At the end of 1113 David, who was to become Davide I, king of Scotland, w a s g i v e n by Henry I, king of England, the rich, highly born heiress, Ma u d o r M a t ilda de Senlis (d. 1131), the daughter of Waltheof, earl of No r t hu m b ria, and Judith (died in or after 1086), the widow of Simon (I) d e S e n l i s (or St Liz, died 1111-3), who would have been approaching fort y w h e n s h e married David. Through this marriage, David acquired propert y s t r e t ching from south Yorkshire to Middlesex, but mainly in the shire s o f N o r t hampton, Huntingdon, Cambridge, and Bedford, which formed what c a m e t o b e k nown as the `honour of Huntingdon'. King Henry I also grante d h i m a n e a rldom, but to assign the names Huntingdon or Northampton to t h i s e s t ate before the mid-twelfth century is anachronistic. When the Se n l i s f a mily and the Scottish royal house vied for control of the honour , w h i c h w as never partitioned, the former preferred the title earl of N or t h a m pton (given by Stephen), while the Scots simply spoke of the hono u r o f H u n tingdon without using any territorial style.[ G . W . S. Barrow, `David I (c.1085-1153)', ''Oxford Dictionary of Na t i o n a l Biography'', Oxford University Press, 2004; online edn, Jan 2006 ( h t t p s ://doi.org/10.1093/ref:odnb/7208 accessed 14 Sept 2017).]
If Huctred was the son of Waltheof and Judith, he would have inherited t h e s e e s tates, not their daughters.

===Records referring to "Uctred son of Walleof", "Uchtred son of Waldef " a n d " H u ctred son of Waldef"===
In 1130-1, at Northumberland, Uctred, son of Walleof, rendered an accou n t f o r 2 0 m arks of silver, three palfreys, and three coursers for the l i b e r ti es of soc and sac which the king, Henry I of England [reigned 110 0 - 1 1 3 5], had granted him. He paid to the Treasury 5 marks of silver an d s t i l l o wes 15 marks of silver, three palfreys, and three coursers.

On 8 February 1261/2, Henry III, king of England, confirmed to John Com y n t h e g r ant by David king of Scotland and his son, Earl Henry [died 11 5 2 , e a r l of Huntingdon from 1136, earl of Northumberland from 1139] , t o R i c h a rd Comyn, John's great-grandfather, and his wife Histilla, and t he i r h e i rs, lands in Tindale, viz Wallewie, Thornton, Staincroft and He t h i n g ishale, which was the heritage of Histilla's father, Huctred, son o f W a l d e f, just as King Henry's grandfather, King Henry [II], had previo us l y c o n firmed the grant by charter to Richard and Hestilla.
==Research Notes==Robertson's statement "Uchred the son of Waltheof was s l a i n i n t he time of Canute, and his brother Eadulf Cudel only succeeded t o t h e h e r editary dominions beyond the Tyne;"[Eben William Robertson , ' ' S c o tland Under Her Early Kings: A History of the Kingdom to the Clo se o f t h e T h irteenth Century'', (Edmonston and Douglas, 1862), I:442; D igi ta l I m a ge ''Internet Archive'', .] does not refer to Histilla's f a t h e r , Huctred, son of Waldef, because Cnut died in 1035.[M.
