## Image Caption

Detail from a window in Newcastle Cathedral of St Oswald who worked closely with St Aidan of Lindisfarne to evangelize the people of Northumbria. St Oswald was king of Northumbria but was killed in 642 by a pagan king, and so is considered a [martyr](https://www.worldhistory.org/martyr/).
