Æthelred and Æthelflaed founded a new minster at Gloucester in the late ninth century, and in 909 the bones of St Oswald were translated to the foundation which was renamed St Oswald's Priory in his honour.

Oswald apparently controlled the Kingdom of Lindsey, given the evidence of a story told by Bede regarding the moving of Oswald's bones to a monastery there ; Bede says that the monks rejected the bones initially because Oswald had ruled over them as a foreign king.

It was only after Oswald's bones were the focus of an awe-inspiring miracle — in which, during the night, a pillar of light appeared over the wagon in which the bones were being carried and shone up into the sky — that they were accepted into the monastery: " in the morning, the brethren who had refused it the day before, began themselves earnestly to pray that those holy relics, so beloved by God, might be deposited among them.

Charges of truancy, in the Bronx ( NYC ), led to psychiatric assessment at a juvenile reformatory, the psychiatrist, Dr. Renatus Hartogs, describing Oswald's " vivid fantasy life, turning around the topics of omnipotence and power, through which he tries to compensate for his present shortcomings and frustrations.

Shown the pictures after his arrest, Oswald insisted they were forgeries, but Marina testified in 1964 that she had taken the photographs at Oswald's request — testimony she reaffirmed repeatedly over the decades.

Oswald's father Æthelfrith was a successful Bernician ruler who, after some years in power in Bernicia, also became king of Deira, and thus was the first to rule both of the kingdoms which would come to be considered the constituent kingdoms of Northumbria ( Bernicia in the northern part and Deira in the southern part ); it would, however, be anachronistic to refer to a " Northumbrian " people or identity at this early stage, when the Bernicians and the Deirans were still clearly distinct peoples.

Bede makes the claim that Oswald " brought under his dominion all the nations and provinces of Britain ", which, as Bede notes, was divided by language between the English, Britons, Scots, and Picts ; however, he seems to undermine his own claim when he mentions at another point in his history that it was Oswald's brother Oswiu who made tributary the Picts and Scots.

Bede recounts Oswald's generosity to the poor and to strangers, and tells a story highlighting this characteristic: on one occasion, at Easter, Oswald was sitting at dinner with Aidan, and had " a silver dish full of dainties before him ", when a servant, whom Oswald " had appointed to relieve the poor ", came in and told Oswald that a crowd of the poor were in the streets begging alms from the king.

Oswald's head was interred in Durham Cathedral together with the remains of Cuthbert of Lindisfarne ( a saint with whom Oswald became posthumously associated, although the two were not associated in life ; Cuthbert became bishop of Lindisfarne more than forty years after Oswald's death ) and other valuables in a quickly made coffin, where it is generally believed to remain, although there are at least four other claimed heads of Oswald in continental Europe.

William Wordsworth died by re-aggravating a case of pleurisy on 23 April 1850, and was buried at St. Oswald's church in Grasmere.

In 655, Penda launched a massive invasion of Northumbria, aided by the sub-king of Deira, Aethelwald, but suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of an inferior force under Oswiu, Oswald's successor, at the Battle of Winwaed.

She died at Tamworth, Staffordshire in 918, and was buried at St Peter's Church ( now St Oswald's priory ) in Gloucester, a city she had reconstructed from Roman ruins, and laid out the core street plan, which is still in existence today.

The family had left Munich to settle in Britain at the time of the Great Exhibition, Oswald's work having been recommended by Freiherrin Rebecca von Kreusser to Ralph Nicholson Wornum, who was Keeper of the National Gallery at the time.

He succeeded King Oswald of Northumbria, probably around the year 644, after Oswald's death at the Battle of Maserfield.

Oswiu, who was Oswald's brother but had succeeded him only in Bernicia, the northern part of Northumbria, was besieged by Penda's forces at a place called Iudeu ( identified with Stirling ) in the north of his kingdom.

Since the death of Oswald's uncle Edwin of Northumbria at Hatfield Chase in 633, the Mercians under Penda had presented an obstacle to the power of Northumbria over the lands of Britain south of the Humber.

Oswald had defeated Cadwallon ap Cadfan of Gwynedd, King of the Britons ( Penda's ally at Hatfield ) at Heavenfield in 634, and subsequently re-established Northumbrian hegemony across much of Britain ; although it is thought that Penda recognized Oswald's authority in some form after Hatfield, he may nevertheless have been hostile to Northumbrian power or at least perceived by Oswald as a threat.

The location of the battle is traditionally identified as Oswestry ( etymology: " Oswald's Tree ") in Shropshire, which at that time is thought to have probably still been in the territory of Powys.

He spent large sums of his own on these works, gave £ 500 for the restoration of Banbury church, erected a church at St Oswald's, Worcester, and the parsonage house at Woodstock at his own expense, and rebuilt Cuddesdon Palace.

CE 133-A shows the rifle in Oswald's left hand and newsletters in front of his chest in the other, while the rifle is held with the right hand in CE 133-B.

He was given a strongly positive assessment by the historian Bede, writing a little less than a century after Oswald's death, who regarded Oswald as a saintly king ; it is also Bede who is the main source for present-day historical knowledge of Oswald.

The name of the site, Oswestry, or " Oswald's Tree ", is generally thought to be derived from Oswald's death there and the legends surrounding it.

The story is that a small group of monks from Peterborough made their way to Bamburgh where Oswald's uncorrupted arm was kept and stole it under the cover of darkness.

This is the first appearance of Oswald's cat love interest, replacing Oswald's former love interest Miss Cottontail who would never appear again in the Disney shorts.

It is possible that Oswald's relatives Oscytel, afterwards Archbishop of York, and Thurcytel, an abbot, were also relatives of Oda, but this is not known for sure.

Thus it is believed that the name of the site derived from a reference to " Oswald's Tree ".

The spring Oswald's Well is supposed to have originated where the bird dropped the arm from the tree.

The town, being very close to Wales, has many Welsh street and Welsh placenames and the town's name in Welsh is Croesoswallt, meaning Oswald's Cross.

At Letherbury, Jimmy looks through Sir Oswald's study in the dead of night, is almost caught by Rupert Bateman but manages to talk his way out of the situation.

Chicago Tribune, October 3, 1993: “ Half of ‘ Case Closed ’ is a meticulous examination of Oswald's entire life, culminating in an almost day-by-day chronicle of his movements in the last two months before the assassination .”< p >

Marina Oswald has always maintained she took the photos herself, and the 1963 de Mohrenschildt print bearing Oswald's signature clearly indicate they existed before the assassination.

Further investigation led him to Oswald's babysitter baron de Mohrenschildt.

George de Mohrenschildt ( April 17, 1911 – March 29, 1977 ) was a petroleum geologist and professor who befriended Lee Harvey Oswald in the summer of 1962 and maintained that friendship until Oswald's death, two days after the assassination of U. S. President John F. Kennedy.

On April 13, 1963, three days after Oswald's alleged attempt on the life of conservative activist General Edwin Walker at his home in Dallas ( for which the police had no suspects ), the de Mohrenschildts visited the Oswalds ' apartment.

Jeanne de Mohrenschildt later saw a rifle standing against the wall in a room that served as Oswald's study.

George de Mohrenschildt wrote in his manuscript ( reference and pages cited above ) that he had missed Oswald's photograph in packing for the move to Haiti in May, 1963, and this was why he hadn't mentioned it to the Warren Commission ( though he had noted in his manuscript that Oswald had a rifle in April, 1963, and scoffed to Lee that he had missed General Walker, remembering that Lee had blanched at the joke ).

In part this judgment was based on de Mohrenschildt's estimation of Oswald's political views and Kennedy's liberal ideas.
