627 A.D. - St. Augustine Introduces Christianity |
Augustine and his Monks had re-introduced the Christian faith by 597 A.D. and Ethelbert was converted. His daughter Ethelberga married Edwin, King of Northumbria, and brought with her to her new home her own Priest, Paulinus. Due to the preaching of Paulinus and at a meeting of the 'Witan' in 627 A.D., Edwin and his Court embraced Christianity. |
