Oshere was a king of Hwicce possibly jointly with his presumed brother Osric, and (perhaps after Osric) with Æthelmod, Æthelheard, Æthelweard, Æthelberht, and Æthelric.

He appears to have issued a charter in 680.[1]

He was still reigning in 693, when he issued a charter to Abbess Cuthswith,[2] witnessed by his sons Æthelheard, Æthelweard, Æthelberht, and Æthelric.
