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»).1

Lelands liste er den eneste som nevner hvor Bosa ble gravlagt.
