Oswald, Bishop of Selsey, called Osa for short.

In 765 he witnessed a charter of Osmund, King of Sussex [1].

In 772 he received a grant from Osfrith, King of Mercia [2].

Kelly (1998) rather quaintly suggested “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”.
