Osmund (missionary Bishop)
Osmund or Asmund ( la, Osmundus, ''Aesmundus''; Old Swedish: ''Asmuðær'') was a missionary bishop in Sweden in the mid-11th century. Born at an unknown date c. 1000, probably in England; educated at the schools of Bremen (shortly?) after 1014 (when his sponsor first became a 'bishop of the Norwegians'); served as court-bishop to King Emund the Old of Sweden (who reigned as sole king c. 1050 – c. 1060); was expelled from Sweden and travelled to England via Bremen probably in 1057; died as a monk of Ely in the abbacy of Thurstan (1066 - c.1072). Osmund, missionary bishop in Sweden and monk of Ely, is not to be confused with Saint Osmund, Bishop of Salisbury (d. 1099). He is also to be distinguished from Amund (d. 1082), the successor of Saint David as Bishop of Västerås and from the Bishop Osmund who, as a monk of Fécamp, signed a privilege in 1017. It is not entirely out of the question that the rune-carver Asmund Karesson, who produced Christian memorials in central Sw ...

Osmund Of Sussex
Osmund ( fl. ) was a King of Sussex, apparently reigning jointly with Oswald, Ælfwald, and Oslac. According to the ''Anglo-Saxon Chronicle'', version D, Osmund was reigning in Sussex when Archbishop Cuthbert died in 760, so his rule commenced before that event. Osmund issued a charter, dated 762 in error for 765, as ''Osmundus''. Osmund also issued a charter dated 770 in which he is listed as ''Osmundus rex''. So Osmund’s reign was from in or before 760 to between 770 and 772, as he witnessed a charter of Offa Offa (died 29 July 796 AD) was King of Mercia, a kingdom of Anglo-Saxon England, from 757 until his death.
