It may have been to appease Oswald that Penda had Eadfrith, a captured son of Edwin ( and thus a dynastic rival of Oswald ), killed, although it is also possible that Penda had his own motives for the killing.

In writing of one miracle associated with Oswald, Bede gives some indication of how Oswald was regarded in conquered lands: years later, when his niece Osthryth moved his bones to Bardney Abbey in Lindsey, its inmates initially refused to accept them, " though they knew him to be a holy man ", because " he was originally of another province, and had reigned over them as a foreign king ", and thus " they retained their ancient aversion to him, even after death ".

They met their deaths in battle against similar foes, the pagan Mercians and the British in both cases, thus allowing both of them to be perceived as martyrs ; however, Bede's treatment of Oswald clearly demonstrates that he regarded Oswald as an unambiguously saintly figure, a status that he did not accord to Edwin.

Thereafter, he remade The Nation into a current affairs publication and gave it an anti-classical liberal orientation: Oswald Villard welcomed the New Deal and supported the nationalization of industries – thus reversing the meaning of " liberalism " as the founders of " The Nation " would have understood the term, from a belief in a smaller and more restricted government to a belief in a larger and less restricted government.

The second volume was published in 1922 and thus Oswald Spengler spent over a decade writing The Decline.

Cenwalh's repudiation of Penda's sister therefore followed fairly closely upon Penda's killing of Oswald of Northumbria at Maserfeld in 642, Oswald being the godfather of Cynegils, and husband of Cenwalh's sister Cyneburh, and thus the protector of Cynegils's line in Wessex.

According to the company, the primary aim of the game was " to establish the most likely facts of what happened on 1963-11-22 by running the world ’ s first mass-participation forensic construction ", the theory being that a player could help prove that Lee Harvey Oswald had the " means and the opportunity to commit the crime ", and thus help prove the Warren Commission's findings.

The year following Æthelfrith's son Oswald returned and drove the invaders from both Bernicia and Deira, thus establishing himself on the throne of Northumbria.

Even though he may have activated his Unit before Oswald A. Lisker, the second Guyver, he did not openly appear in his Guyver armor until after Lisker was eliminated and thus he was dubbed " Guyver III ".

Others who have spent time at NPL include Harry Huskey, a computer pioneer ; Alan Turing, one of the fathers of modern digital computing who was largely responsible for the early ACE computer design ; Robert Watson-Watt, generally considered the inventor of radar, Oswald Kubaschewski, the father of computational materials thermodynamics and the numerical analyst James Wilkinson.

He spent two years ( 986-987 ) in England, mostly in the newly founded monastery of Ramsey, assisting Archbishop Oswald of York in restoring the monastic system.

It was not uncommon for a 7th-century king to have spent time in exile before gaining the throne ; Oswald of Northumbria is another prominent example.

Upon his return, Bean began to attend meetings of the Union Movement, being attracted by the Europe a Nation policy and by the time Oswald Mosley had spent in prison for his beliefs.

Agent John Quigley arrived and spent over an hour talking to Oswald.

Sir Oswald was arrested in 1940 for his antiwar campaigning, and spent the majority of World War II in prison.

He spent the summer of 1912 working in Oswald Külpe ’ s lab studying the topic much to Titchener ’ s dismay.

The earldom was created with remainder failing male issue of his own 1 ) to his younger brother the Right Honourable Gerald William Balfour and the heirs male of his body, failing which to 2 ) his nephew Francis Cecil Campbell Balfour and the heirs male of his body, and failing which to 3 ) his nephew Oswald Herbert Campbell Balfour and the heirs male of his body.

* 1874 – Oswald Chambers, Scottish minister and writer ( d. 1917 )

King Oswald re-introduced Christianity to the Kingdom by appointing St. Aidan, an Irish monk from the Scottish island of Iona to convert his people.

The apportionment of lands in the new colonies fell to the same group of English and Scottish entrepreneurs and merchant interests, led chiefly by the Englishman Richard Oswald, later a diplomat, and the British General James Grant, who would later become governor of East Florida.

Christianity was first brought to the region in the 7th and 8th centuries by Irish and Scottish monks, and the patron saint of the parish church is in fact St. Oswald, a former King of Northumbria.

* James Oswald Dykes ( 1835 – 1912 ), Scottish Presbyterian clergyman

There were changes of dynasty, and the kingdom was divided, but it was re-united under Æthelfrith's son Oswald ( r. 634-42 ).

Irish annals record the siege of Edinburgh, thought to have been the royal stronghold of the Gododdin, in 638, and this seems to mark the end of the kingdom ; that this siege was undertaken by Oswald is suggested by the apparent control of the area by his brother Oswiu in the 650s.

Oswald expanded his kingdom considerably.

The flag of the kingdom was " a banner made of gold and purple " ( or red ), first recorded in the 8th century as having hung over the shrine of King Oswald.

Oswald, who is known to have been Acha's son, was accepted as king in Deira, while Oswiu appears never to have ruled the kingdom directly.

Bede summarises Oswiu's reign in this way: Oswald being translated to the heavenly kingdom, his brother Oswy, a young man of about thirty years of age, succeeded him on the throne of his earthly kingdom, and held it twenty-eight years with much trouble, being harassed by the pagan king, Penda, and by the pagan nation of the Mercians, that had slain his brother, as also by his son Alfred Ealhfrith of Deira | Ealhfrith, and by his cousin-german Ethelwald Œthelwald of Deira, the son of his brother who reigned before him.

Other bones taken by the party were those remains of St Aidan ( d. 651 ), the founder of the community, that had not been sent to Melrose, and the head of the king and saint Oswald of Northumbria, who had converted the kingdom and encouraged the founding of Lindisfarne.

Eanfrith's Bernician successor Oswald would reunite Northumbria into one kingdom, leading off at the Battle of Heavenfield ( Bellum Cantscaul in the Annales Cambriae ) near Hexham in 634, where he defeated and killed Cadwallon.

Æthelfrith's son Oswald fled northwest to the Gaelic kingdom of Dál Riata where he was converted to Christianity by the monks of Iona.

Oswald re-established Christianity in the kingdom and assigned a bishopric at Hexham, where Wilfrid erected a famous early English church.

After the murder of Eanfrith, his brother, Oswald, backed by warriors sent by Domnall Brecc of Dál Riata, defeated and killed Cadwallon at the Battle of Heavenfield in 634.

Eanfrith's brother, Oswald, then returned from seventeen years exile in Dál Riata to claim the crown of Northumbria.

The eighth-century monk and chronicler Bede lists both Oswald and Oswiu as having held imperium, or overlordship, over the other Anglo-Saxon kingdoms ; in Oswiu's case his dominance extended beyond the Anglo-Saxons to the Picts, the Gaels of Dál Riata, and the many obscure and nameless native British kingdoms in what are now North West England and southern Scotland.

Eanfrith apostatised and was killed by Cadwallon, who was defeated and killed in turn by another brother, Oswald, who became king of Bernicia and probably succeeded to his father's old dominance of northern and central Britain.

The architect of the northern portion is thought to have been Mortimer Lewis's son Oswald.

This victory ends with the re-Christianization of pagan England, and King Oswald as ruler of all Britain.

After eight years of rule, in which he was the most powerful ruler in Britain, Oswald was killed in the Battle of Maserfield.

Bede says that Oswald held imperium for the eight years of his rule ( both Bede and the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle say that Oswald's reign was actually considered to be nine years, the ninth year being accounted for by assigning to Oswald the year preceding his rule, " on account of the heathenism practised by those who had ruled that one year between him and Edwin "), and was the most powerful king in Britain.

Adomnán describes Oswald as " ordained by God as Emperor of all Britain ".

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.

When his kingship is compared with his pagan brother-in-law Æthelfrith, or to Æthelfrith's sons Oswald and Oswiu, or to the resolutely pagan Penda of Mercia, Edwin appears to be something less than a key figure in Britain during the first half of the 7th century.

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.

In May, Sir Oswald, who had campaigned for a negotiated peace with Nazi Germany, was interned by the British Authorities under Defence Regulation 18B, along with most other active fascists in Britain.

* Richard Thurlow, Fascism in Britain: From Oswald Mosley's Blackshirts to the National Front, London: IB Tauris, 1998

The Union Movement was a far right political party founded in Britain by Oswald Mosley.

On the international scale Britain has reformed itself around conservative Winston Churchill and fascistic " silver shirts " led by Oswald Mosley.

The name of the group was derived from The Greater Britain, a 1932 book by Oswald Mosley.

Notable supporters of Social Credit or " monetary reform " in Britain in the 1920s and 1930s included A. V. Roe the aircraft manufacturer, Frederick Soddy the scientist, and Sir Oswald Mosley, in 1928-30 a member of the Labour Government but later the leader of the British Union of Fascists.

In Britain, the Silver Shirts under Oswald Mosley hold similar views, and support Action Française, though they never become more than a minority in Parliament.

The one minister whose proposals may have helped Britain to recover quickly from the worst effects of the Great depression was Oswald Mosley, a former member of the Conservative Party.

The Leader ( 2003 ) is set in a Britain ruled by Oswald Mosley as a Fascist dictator.

There were three local kings who held the title of Bretwalda – ‘ Lord of Britain ’, Edwin of Deira ( 627 – 632 ), Oswald of Bernicia ( 633 – 641 ) and Oswy of Northumbria ( 641 – 658 ).

The movement soon became part of the street politics of the 1930s, engaging in battles with both Oswald Mosley's British Union of Fascists Blackshirts and the supporters of the Communist Party of Great Britain.

Oswald Graham Noel Turnbull ( 20 December 1890 – 17 December 1970 ) was a male tennis player from Great Britain.

In the doubles final, Kashio and Kumagae lost to Oswald Turnbull and Max Woosnam of Great Britain: 2 – 6, 7 – 5, 5 – 7, and 5 – 7.
