Jaruman (or Jarumann; died 669) was the fourth Bishop of Mercia.^[1] He fought against apostasy outside his diocese.^[2] He served as bishop in the time of King Wulfhere of Mercia, on whose behalf he undertook several missions to Saxon tribes which had returned to paganism.^[3] He probably originated in Ireland but was educated at Lindisfarne.
