Joscelin of Louvain, also spelled Jocelin de Louvain and Jocelyn of Leuven, (1121/36–1180) was a nobleman from the Duchy of Brabant who settled in England after his half-sister Adeliza of Louvain married King Henry I. There Joscelin married an English heiress, and through his son, the House of Percy—as the Earls and later the Dukes of Northumberland—became the most powerful family in Northern England.
Joscelin Verreuil is a character from Jacqueline Carey's novel series Kushiel's Legacy.
Joscelyn fitz Richard de Bohon or Joscelin de Bohun (c. 1111–84) was Bishop of Salisbury, England. I imagine his name was also spelled Jocelyn in some medieval sources.
