Oskytel
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Oskytel (???-c971) was Archbishop of York between 958–c971, prior to which he had been Bishop of Dorchester.
There is an entry in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle for the year 970 or 971, which says:
This year died Archbishop Oskytel; who was first consecrated diocesan bishop at Dorchester, and afterwards it was by the consent of King Eadred and all his council that he was consecrated Archbishop of York. He was bishop two and twenty winters; and he died on Allhallow-mas night, ten nights before Martinmas, at Thame. Abbot Thurkytel, his relative, carried the bishop's body to Bedford, because he was the abbot there at that time.
