Kelly suggested that "It is possible that Osa was a kinsman of King Osmund, and of the contemporary Oslac and Oswald, who also seem to have been regarded as kings before 772".Kelly Charters of Selsey p. lxxxiv

Oswald was consecrated between 747 and 765, and died between 772 and 780.Fryde, et al. Handbook of British Chronology p. 221
