Oswald of Worcester
Oswald of Worcester (died 29 February 992) was Archbishop of York from 972 to his death in 992. He was of Danish ancestry, but brought up by his uncle, Oda, who sent him to France to the abbey of Fleury to become a monk. After a number of years at Fleury, Oswald returned to England at the request of his uncle, who died before Oswald returned. With his uncle's death, Oswald needed a patron and turned to another kinsman, Oskytel, who had recently become Archbishop of York. His activity for Oskytel attracted the notice of Archbishop Dunstan who had Oswald consecrated as Bishop of Worcester in 961. In 972 Oswald was promoted to the see of York, although he continued to hold Worcester also.
As bishop and archbishop, Oswald was a supporter and one of the leading promoters (together with Æthelwold) of Dunstan's reforms of the church, including monastic reforms.〔Lawrence ''Medieval Monasticism'' p. 101〕 Oswald founded a number of monasteries, including Ramsey Abbey, and reformed other seven, including Winchcombe in Gloucestershire and Pershore and Evesham in Worcestershire. Oswald also switched the cathedral chapter of Worcester from secular clergy to monks. While archbishop, he brought the scholar Abbo of Fleury to teach, and he spent two years in England, mostly at Ramsey. Oswald died in 992, while washing the feet of the poor. A hagiographical life was written shortly after his death, and he was quickly hailed as a saint.
==Early life==
Oswald, of Danish parentage, was brought up by his uncle Oda, Archbishop of Canterbury, and was also related to Oskytel, later Archbishop of York.〔Knowles ''Monastic Order'' p. 40〕 He was also related to the ''cniht'' Osulf, who received land while Oswald was bishop of Worcester.〔Richardson and Sayles ''Governance of Mediaeval England'' p. 57〕 Oswald was instructed by a Frankish scholar Frithegod.〔Brooks "Oswald (St Oswald)" ''Oxford Dictionary of National Biography''〕 He held the office of dean of Winchester, but he was sent by his uncle to France and entered the monastery of Fleury about 950,〔 where he was ordained in 959. While at Fleury he met Osgar of Abingdon and Germanus of Winchester.〔 The influence of Fleury was to be evident later in Oswald's life, when it was one of the inspirations for the ''Regularis Concordia'', the English code of monastic conduct agreed to in 970.〔Lawrence ''Medieval Monasticism'' pp. 102–103〕
