Bosel was a medieval Bishop of Worcester.
Bosel was consecrated bishop in 680.[1] Around 681, he consecrated Kyneburg, a relative of Osric of Hwicce, as the first abbess of Gloucester Abbey, which had been founded by Osric.[2]
Around 685, Bosel founded the Royal Grammar School Worcester, which is the fifth oldest school in the United Kingdom.[3] He was also the head of Worcester Cathedral when it was founded.
Bosel resigned the see in 691 and died sometime after that date.[1]
