[During the rebellion of 1088] those who were the chief men of Hereford, and all that shire with them, and the men of Shropshire, with a large force from Wales, came and ravaged and burned in Worcestershire until they came to Worcester itself, and intended to burn the town and plunder the monastery and get the king’s castle by force into their hands. Seeing these things, the reverend bishop, Wulfstan 55, was much distressed in mind because the castle had been committed to him to hold; nevertheless, the members of his household marched out with a few men from the castle, and through God’s mercy and the bishop’s merits killed and captured 500 men and routed all the rest. |

Oswald 8 returned to England from Fleury shocked by the news that his uncle Oda 1 was dying. By the time he landed at Dover, Oda 1 had already died. From there Oswald 8 travelled to Oscytel 5 archbishop of York, a near relation of his, which whom he stayed for several years. Meanwhile Dunstan 1 demitted the sees of Worcester and London, and transferred to Canterbury. Well aware of Oswald 8's holiness and practical abilities, he prevailed on the king [Edgar 11] to give him the see of Worcester. The episcopal see was dedicated to St Peter. Oswald 8 built a second church in the same precinct in the name of the Mother of God, moved monks there, and lived happily with them. On Dunstan 1's advice the king gave Oswald 8 the vacant see of York, but he would not let him give up the see of Worcester. Oswald 8 also invited to England men of letters, such as Abbo 1, monk of Fleury, who at the instance of Archbishop Dunstan 1 embellished literature with a Passion of Edmund 6 the Martyr. Oswald 8 over many years proved himself up to holding both sees, though he used to visit Worcester more often. He outlived Dunstan 1 and Æthelwold 1, reproducing the authority of the former, the efficiency of the latter, and the holiness of both. |

The day before Oswald 8 died, he stood at the doors of the church at Worcester and wept for joy, for some time looking upwards. Next day, when after the customary washing of the feet of the poor he was singing the hymn 'Glory be to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit', he was robbed of his life's breath in mid-genuflexion. He was buried in the church of the Blessed Mary, but after twelve years was raised from the earth after the showing of signs from heaven. |

He also instigated Harthacnut 1 to burn down the city of Worcester and plunder the inhabitants, because of their obstinacy in standing up to the king's tax-gatherers. |

Making use of his money and the innocent nature of King Edward 15, Ealdred 37 took on the archbishopric of York without giving up Worcester. After arranging matters with the King, he proceeded to Rome with Giso 1 of Wells and Walter 2 of Hereford, together with Tosti 2, earl of the Northumbrians. Pope Nicholas 2 gave the earl a gracious welcome, and made him sit at his side at a synod he had convoked against simony. Ealdred 37 was found guilty of simony and stripped of his honours. On their way back the English party was attacked by robbers, lost all their property and fled to Rome. Tosti 2 urged Nicholas 2 either to use his authority and return their property, or to restore pallium to Ealdred 37. The pope did the latter but he laid down that Worcester should have its own bishop. |

Ealdred 37's independence of mind showed up splendidly in one remark: Urse 1, who had been made sheriff of Worcester by William 1, built a castle almost down the monks' throats. When the archbishop saw Urse 1, he confronted him with: 'Hattest þu Urs, haue þu Godes kurs', adding that he or his heirs would not hold of the lands of St Mary for long. Not many years later his son Roger 2 was driven away from his lands. |

The episcopal see [of Worcester] is distinguished by the relics of the king and martyr Æthelberht 11, who was born and become king among the East Angles. He was killed, for no just cause, by Offa 7 king of the Mercians, to strengthen and advance his own kingdom, a wicked piece of plotting against the wooer of his own daughter [Æthelswith 2]. On his death, Offa 7 straightaway invaded his eastern realm, and he was to pass on the tradition of such invasions to his successors. But the unprovoked death of Æthelberht 11 is believed to have been avenged by Offa 7's own death soon afterwards and the brevity of his son's [Ecgfrith 7] reign. |
