Who is Osmundus?

Osmundus was a clergyman favoured by Emund the Old, the king of Sweden in the mid-11th century.

King Emund appointed Osmundus as archbishop of the Swedish church in Skara, probably to make Sweden independent from Adalbert of Hamburg, the Archbishop of Hamburg-Bremen. Eventually, Emund the Old and Osmundus had to give in and the Swedish church was once again subjected to the Hamburg-Bremen.

Osmundus was succeeded by Adalvard the Elder.
