Oswald was a Benedictine monk and a monastic reformer associated with Fleury Abbey<\/a> in France, one of the great centers of western monasticism and at the time a center of learning with the largest library in Europe. With a name like Oswald, he was obviously originally from England. In fact, his grandfather had been a Viking, though he had been brought up by his uncle Oda<\/a>, who was Archbishop of Canterbury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although he had a reputation as being politically astute and a hard-nosed reformer, he was also a deeply holy man. When he died on February 29, 992, he was in the middle of carrying out his Lenten custom of washing the feet of the poor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
