Tags: Christian Bishop.
Bosa (died c. 705) was an Anglo-Saxon Bishop of York during the 7th and early 8th centuries. He was educated at Whitby Abbey where he became a monk. Following Wilfrid’s removal from York in 678 the diocese was divided into three leaving a greatly reduced see of York to which Bosa was appointed bishop. He was himself removed in 687 and replaced by Wilfrid but in 691 Wilfrid was once more ejected and Bosa returned to the see.
