		Oskytel and Thurkytel were Danes, or rather Englishmen from that part of England known as the Danelaw.
		Oskytel's importance as a Christian leader of the English of the Danelaw is further reflected in his appointment by King Eadred as Archbishop of York.
		When King Eadred died in 955, Bishop Oskytel was entrusted with the task of distributing throughout the realm a large number of gold coins in memory of the dead King and in praise of God.

	Britannia Biographies: St. Oswald of Worcester, Archbishop of York
		He was sent by Archbishop Oda to Winchester, where the lives of the secular canons by no means satisfied him; and he accordingly transferred himself to the famous Benedictine Monastery of Fleury, where he took the vows, and was afterwards ordained.
		On the death of Oda, in AD 958, he returned to England and was warmly received by Archbishop Oskytel of York, who had not long become the head of the Northern Province.
		Oswald set out with Oskytel for Rome; but did not proceed beyond Fleury, where he remained until Oskytel summoned him again to England to assist in the re-introduction of the Benedictine rule and the suppression of the secular canons.

		In the tenth century many settled English landowners were of Danish origin, such as Oskytel, the Bishop of Dorchester who died at Thame in 971, and his brother Thurkytel, Abbot of Bedford.
		It was part of the manorial land of Thame and as such belonged to the Bishop of Lincoln.
		This means that it once belonged to Oskytel, Bishop of Dorchester, who may well have granted it to Taetel, although this is pure speculation.

		The exact location of the Saxon settlement remains uncertain, but aerial photography suggests that it was centred round the River Thame - this is supported by the discovery of pottery and jewellery in the vicinity.
		In the 670s, Wulfhere, King of Mercia, ratified a charter 'in the residence which is called Thame', and the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle relates how Oskytel, Archbishop of York, died at Thame in 970.
		Little is then heard of Thame until 1219, when the Bishop of Lincoln, in whose huge diocese the town lay until 1846, obtained royal permission to maximise Thame's potential by diverting the existing road to Aylesbury.

		Southwell's Town Trail is packed with historical sites, making this one of the most informative and enjoyable walks in Nottinghamshire.
		The name 'South Well' is first recorded in the charter 956AD, which granted the manor to Archbishop Oskytel of York.
		But Southwell was already an ancient place - a Roman villa has been found to the east of The Minster, and it is possible that this is why the site was chosen for an important church.

		As a final instance, Ælfhelm "Polga" was one of two "sureties (vades)" for the Stretham transaction wherein Wine of Witchford (and, for that matter, "Oswiu and Oskytel of Beche") were also participants; soon afterwards, he appears as one of fourteen "testibus legalibus" before whom the Abbot of Ely made another of his bargains.
		These "testes legales" seem to be something other than the twenty-four "iudicibus" before whom the abbot conducted the business too, even if one wonders quite what the difference was.
