Oswiu, king of Northumbria (born c. 612)

Oswiu

King of Bernicia (r. 642–670) and of Northumbria (r. 654–670)

Oswiu, also known as Oswy or Oswig, was King of Bernicia from 642 and of Northumbria from 654 until his death. He is notable for his role at the Synod of Whitby in 664, which ultimately brought the church in Northumbria into conformity with the wider Catholic Church.
