Talk:Saint Osmund

Family relationships
I show no modern scholarship that says that William the Conqueror was his uncle. This includes the 'Bishops', Fasti Ecclesiae Anglicanae 1066-1300: volume 4: Salisbury (1991), pp. 1-7. URL: http://british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=34219. Date accessed: 31 October 2007, where no family relationsship is given. Robert II, Duke of Normandy doesn't cite any daughter Isabella either. I'll try to remember to look into it, but if the first citation of his ancestry is a fifteenth century document, that's suspiscious. Ealdgyth | Talk 01:36, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

I think Isabelle de Conteville was a parent of Herlouin de Conteville, husband of Herlève/ Arlette, William the Conqueror's mother. Was she Herluin de Conteville's daughter? so Robert of Mortain and Odo of Bayeux's sister ? According to the French Wiki, she could have been Herluin's daughter, but it is not sure. I added the French spelling Saint Osmond that is for me more logical. His real name was Osmond (This name is still common in Normandy as a surname: Osmont/Omont/Osmond..) and this name derives from the Anglo Scandinavian version of Asmundr. Osmund is the English version of the name, like Osmund of London for example, but Osmond of Sées was not an Anglo-Saxon. The given name and the surname Osmond are still quite widespread in Great-Britain I think and the reputation of the former christian name has probably something to do with saint Osmond.

When a capable admin happens by: Just use the natural one and place him back at Saint Osmund. — Llywelyn II   17:16, 27 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes, done. Saint Osmond is natural, but also common - sources use that name directly or, as with the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, as an alternative. SilkTork (talk) 10:53, 3 November 2017 (UTC)
