Oswald 8.ecclesiastical career: Oswald 8 returned to England from Fleury shocked by the news that his uncle Oda 1 was dying. By the time he landed at Dover, Oda 1 had already died. From there Oswald 8 travelled to Oscytel 5 archbishop of York, a near relation of his, which whom he stayed for several years. Meanwhile Dunstan 1 demitted the sees of Worcester and London, and transferred to Canterbury. Well aware of Oswald 8's holiness and practical abilities, he prevailed on the king [Edgar 11] to give him the see of Worcester. The episcopal see was dedicated to St Peter. Oswald 8 built a second church in the same precinct in the name of the Mother of God, moved monks there, and lived happily with them. On Dunstan 1's advice the king gave Oswald 8 the vacant see of York, but he would not let him give up the see of Worcester. Oswald 8 also invited to England men of letters, such as Abbo 1, monk of Fleury, who at the instance of Archbishop Dunstan 1 embellished literature with a Passion of Edmund 6 the Martyr. Oswald 8 over many years proved himself up to holding both sees, though he used to visit Worcester more often. He outlived Dunstan 1 and Æthelwold 1, reproducing the authority of the former, the efficiency of the latter, and the holiness of both.: WilliamofMalmesbury.GestaPontificumAnglorum iii.115.2-8

Oswald 8.granting privileges to Ramsey monastery: Æthelwine 2 summoned all the reeves (Anonymi 1695) and the thegns (Anonymi 1696) for some serious discussion. He asked Oswald 8 if he would deign to come for the commencement of his prayer. Then, Æthelwine 2 asked Oswald 8that the monastery at Ramsey be free of all burdens. Oswald 8 accepted and they both decided to report these things to the king. They arranged that all reeves (Anonymi 1695) and thegns (Anonymi 1696) should solemnly undertake a treaty of peace and fellowship with the monks of Ramsey. At the urging of Eadnoth 7 and Eadnoth 8 a treaty was ratified and put into effect in the presence of Æthelwine 2.: Byrhtferth.VitOswaldi v.12

Affection (1)

Oswald 8-Æthelwine 2.yearly visit to Ramsey: Oswald 8 and Æthelwine 2 went to Ramsey every year, since they both loved that place and its inhabitants with particular devotion. They were always received with great honour. They would kiss each monk in turn, not sitting down but standing and bowing with their heads humbly.: Byrhtferth.VitOswaldi iv.15

Alms-giving (3)

Cenwulf 3.founding Winchcombe: The monastery of Winchcombe was built by Cenwulf 3 king of the Mercians, a piece of munificence on a scale inconceivable in our own times. He had the church dedicated by thirteen bishops, foremost among them Wulfred 6 archbishop of Canterbury. There, during the formalities of the dedication, he freed at the altar the king of Kent [Eadberht 18], whom he had lately made captive by right of war. There too he gave a pound of silver to all landless men, a mancus of gold to priests, a shilling to monks, and much besides to the whole people. This monastery was hardly more than a name in King Edgar 11's time, but thanks to Archbishop Oswald 8 in enjoyed some recovery. Oswald 8 appointed as abbot Germann 4, whom he had brought with him from Fleury, a fine aide in religious matters and in the restoration of the church. At Winchcombe rests Cenwulf 3, with his son Cynehelm 1.: WilliamofMalmesbury.GestaPontificumAnglorum iv.156.1-3

Oswald 8.alms-giving: Oswald 8 went around all the estates entrusted to him and generously provided alms for the poor.: Byrhtferth.VitOswaldi iii.5

Oswald 8.journey to Rome: Edgar 11 commanded Oswald 8 to go to Rome. The latter went to Rome and had with him every kind of distinction and many thousands of pounds. He bestowed alms on monasteries, on villages on burhs, on the countryside and on towns.

When the service of the holy sacrament was ended, everyone returned to the banquet which Æthelwine 2 had prepared. Later in the day they recited the office of Vespers. Then, they went back once more to their seats in the hall. A most splendid regal banquet had been prepared for them. Mead, wine and other honied drink was abundantly provided for everyone.: Byrhtferth.VitOswaldi v.11
