Oswald Of Selsey
Oswald (died c. 776) was a medieval Bishop of Selsey, often called Osa for short. Life In 765 Oswald witnessed a charter of Osmund, King of Sussex. In 772 Oswald received a grant from Osfrith, King of Mercia. Kelly suggested that "It is possible that Osa was a kinsman of King Osmund, and of the contemporary Oslac Óslác is a theophoric Anglo-Saxon given name, cognate to Old Norse ''Ásleikr''/''Áslákr'' (Latinised ''Ansleicus'', modern Scandinavian ''Aslak'') and to Old High German ''Ansleh'' (''Anslech'', ''Ansleccus''). It is composed of '' ós'' "god" ... and Oswald, who also seem to have been regarded as kings before 772".Kelly ''Charters of Selsey'' p. lxxxiv Oswald was consecrated between 747 and 765, and died between 772 and 780.Fryde, et al.

Osmund Of Sussex
Osmund (fl. ) was a King of Sussex, apparently reigning jointly with Oswald, Ælfwald, and Oslac. According to the ''Anglo-Saxon Chronicle'', version D, Osmund was reigning in Sussex when Archbishop Cuthbert died in 760, so his rule commenced before that event. Osmund issued a charter, dated 762 in error for 765, as ''Osmundus''. Osmund also issued a charter dated 770 in which he is listed as ''Osmundus rex''. So Osmund’s reign was from in or before 760 to between 770 and 772, as he witnessed a charter of Offa Offa (died 29 July 796 AD) was King of Mercia, a kingdom of Anglo-Saxon England, from 757 until his death. The son of Thingfrith and a descendant of Eowa, Offa came to the throne after a period of civil war following the assassination of Æt ..., King of Mercia, dated 772 as ''Osmund dux''. Evidently he was demoted from king to ealdorman following Offa's conquest of Sussex. References External links * 770s deaths South Saxon monarchs 8th-century Engl ...

Offa Of Mercia
Offa (died 29 July 796 AD) was King of Mercia, a kingdom of Anglo-Saxon England, from 757 until his death. The son of Thingfrith and a descendant of Eowa, Offa came to the throne after a period of civil war following the assassination of Æthelbald. Offa defeated the other claimant, Beornred. In the early years of Offa's reign, it is likely that he consolidated his control of Midland peoples such as the Hwicce and the Magonsæte. Taking advantage of instability in the kingdom of Kent to establish himself as overlord, Offa also controlled Sussex by 771, though his authority did not remain unchallenged in either territory. In the 780s he extended Mercian Supremacy over most of southern England, allying with Beorhtric of Wessex, who married Offa's daughter Eadburh, and regained complete control of the southeast. He also became the overlord of East Anglia and had King Æthelberht II of East Anglia beheaded in 794, perhaps for rebelling against him. Offa was a Christian ki ...

Oslac Of Sussex
Oslac was a King of Sussex. He reigned jointly with Ealdwulf and Ælfwald, and probably also Oswald and Osmund. Oslac witnessed an undated charter of Ealdwulf, believed to be from about 765, with his name corruptly recorded in the surviving revision as ''Osiai rex''. After the conquest of Sussex by Offa Offa (died 29 July 796 AD) was King of Mercia, a kingdom of Anglo-Saxon England, from 757 until his death. The son of Thingfrith and a descendant of Eowa, Offa came to the throne after a period of civil war following the assassination of Æt ..., King of Mercia, Oslac witnessed a charter of Offa, dated 772, as ''Oslac dux'', with his name placed after Oswald, Osmund, and Ælfwald, suggesting that he was the most junior of the former kings. His latest surviving charter is dated 780, and the original still exists; in it he is styled ''Oslac dux Suthsaxorum''.

Oswald Of Sussex
Oswald was an Ealdorman of Sussex, jointly with three former kings: Osmund, Ælfwald, and Oslac. He witnessed a charter of Offa Offa (died 29 July 796 AD) was King of Mercia, a kingdom of Anglo-Saxon England, from 757 until his death. The son of Thingfrith and a descendant of Eowa, Offa came to the throne after a period of civil war following the assassination of Æt ..., King of Mercia, dated 772 as ''Osuualdus dux Suðsax'' He was listed ahead of the three former kings Osmund, Ælfwald, and Oslac, which implies that his rank was higher. It is probable that all four were former Kings of Sussex, demoted after Offa's conquest. However, this is mere speculation; there is no actual evidence that Oswald ever reigned as king. Oswald is not known to have issued charters of his own. External links * South Saxon monarchs 8th-century English monarchs {{UK-royal-stub ...
