Bishop of York, praised
by St. Bede. Bosa was a Benedictine monk at

St. Theodore. He was involved in St. Wilfrid's refusal to accept the division
of the see of York. Bosa became the bishop in

Bosa a man of
unusual merit and
sanctity, "a man beloved

Bosa of York, OSB B (AC)
Died 686. Saint Bosa was a Benedictine monk at Whitby, England, under Saint
Hilda. In 678, he was consecrated bishop of Deira (the southern half of
Northumbria, now Yorkshire) by Saint Theodore, with his see at York, when Saint
Wilfrid was driven out by King Egfrid for refusing to accept the division of
his see. Wilfrid returned in 686, but Bosa took over the diocese in 691 when
Wilfrid was again exiled following a quarrel with King Aldfrid; Bosa ruled it
with great holiness and ability until his death. Saint Bede praises Bosa as
"a man beloved by God . . . of most unusual merit and sanctity." One
of his disciples was Saint Acca, who later followed and succeeded Wilfrid at
Hexham (Benedictines, Delaney, Encyclopedia, Farmer).

St. Bosa, Bishop of York
(Died AD 705)
St. Bosa was a
Northumbrian, educated at the great Abbey of Whitby under St.
Hilda. He later joined the brethren there as a monk and became a noted
scholar. Bede praised his 'singular merit and holiness'.
In AD 678, when St.
Wilfred was ejected from the Bishopric of York and banished from the
Kingdom, Bosa was given his diocese over which to preside; though it was
much-reduced, with Hexham and Lindsey being divided off. His episcopate lasted
nine years, but with Wilfred back in favour in AD 687, Bosa was removed just
like his predecessor; only to be returned once more in AD 691.
He died on 9th March AD
705.

Den hellige Bosa av York
(d. 705)
Minnedag:
9. mars
Den hellige Bosa (Boso)
ble født på 600-tallet i Northumbria i Nord-England. Han fikk sin utdannelse i
Whitby under den hellige abbedissen Hilda, og senere
ble selv benediktinermunk (Ordo Sancti Benedicti – OSB) i dette
dobbeltklosteret for både munker og nonner. Han ble en berømt lærd. Etter at
den hellige Wilfrid
av York hadde blitt utvist fra Northumbria etter sine krangler med
kong Egfrid (Ecgfrith) og hans bispedømme var blitt delt over hodet på ham av
den hellige erkebiskop Theodor av
Canterbury, ble Bosa i 678 vigslet av Theodor til biskop av Deira med sete
i York. Deira var den sørlige halvdelen av Northumbria, stort sett tilsvarende
det moderne Yorkshire.
Bosa regjerte sitt
bispedømme til sin død bortsett fra årene hvor Wilfrid var rehabilitert
(686-91). Han overtok bispedømmet igjen i 691 da Wilfrid ble utvist på nytt,
denne gang av kong Aldfrid (Aldfrith) (685-704). Beda den Ærverdige roser
Bosas «sjeldne dyder og fromhet». En av hans disipler var den hellige Acca, senere
tilhenger av og etterfølger til Wilfrid i Hexham. Bosa døde den 9. mars 705 i
York. Hans minnedag er dødsdagen 9. mars.
John Leland, som reiste
rundt i England på 1540-tallet, kopierte en liste over engelske helgengraver
«fra en liten bok over steder hvor helgener hviler i England» (E libello
de locis, quibus S. in Angl[ia] requiescunt). Der står det: Apud Eboracum
S. Gulielmus martyr [confessor tilføyd mellom linjene] eiusdem urbis
archiepiscopus, S. Egbertus et S. Boso archipraesules, & S. Euerilda
abbatissa, quam pagani c[um] omni conuentu suo interfecerunt («I York, St.
Vilhelm, martyr, bekjenner, erkebiskop av samme by, St. Egbert og St. Bosa,
store prelater, og St. Everild, abbedisse, som ble drept av hedninger med hele
sitt kloster») (Nicholas Grant, 'John Leland's List of «Places where Saints
Rest in England»', Analecta Bollandiana, 122:2 (2004), s 384).
Lelands liste er den
eneste som nevner hvor Bosa ble gravlagt.
