Life
In 765 Oswald witnessed a charter of Osmund, King of Sussex.[1]
In 772 Oswald received a grant from Osfrith, King of Mercia.[2]
Kelly suggested that “It is possible that Osa was a kinsman of King Osmund, and of the contemporary Oslac and Oswald, who also seem to have been regarded as kings before 772”.[3]
Oswald was consecrated between 747 and 765, and died between 772 and 780.[4]
