Bebba

We also know of a documented royal marriage between an Anglian king (Oswy) and a Brittonic princess (Rhianmellt of Rheged) in about the 630s in Northumbria, and Oswy's father King Aethelferth of Bernicia had a wife with the Brittonic name of Bebba, after whom Bamburgh (Bebbanburgh) was named.

There is a debate over whether Bebba was Oswy's mother; if she was, Oswy himself would have been half-Brittonic.

One could argue that Bede's lack of detail about Bebba and his failure to mention Rhianmellt at all is indicative that he disapproved of Brittonic queens; on the other hand, neither converted her husband to Christianity so it could simply be that they were not immediately relevant to his church history.
