	[[Osthryth]], daughter of [[Oswiu of Northumbria]]. The only marriage recorded for Osthryth is that to [[Æthelred of Mercia]], but an earlier marriage to Eanhere would explain why Osric and his brother Oswald are described as Æthelred's ''nepotes'' — usually translated as nephews or grandsons, but here probably meaning stepsons.<ref>[[John Leland (antiquary)\|John Leland]], ''Collectanea'', vol. 1, p. 240.</ref>		[[Osthryth]], daughter of [[Oswiu of Northumbria]].
