Jaruman (or Jarumann; died 669) was the fourth Bishop of Mercia.[1] He fought against apostasy outside his diocese.[2] He served as bishop in the time of King Wulfhere of Mercia, on whose behalf he undertook several missions to Saxon tribes which had returned to paganism.[3] He probably originated in Ireland but was educated at Lindisfarne.
Some Tolkien scholars suggest that Jaruman's name was the inspiration for that of Saruman in The Lord of the Rings.[citation needed]
