Database: Oswald

Oswald was a thegn of Norfulc, a noble title under the King of East Anglia, much like later barons and earls. After some convincing, he offered himself as the next King of East Anglia - a bold proposition considering the Danes had turned the last few kings into pincushions. An earnest and honest man, Oswald was the perfect man to drink of the cup of power without getting too drunk.
