which population of England formerly adhering to the <a href="/wiki/Anglo-Saxon_paganism" title="Anglo-Saxon paganism">Anglo-Saxon</a>, and later <a href="/wiki/Old_Nordic_religion" class="mw-redirect" title="Old Nordic religion">Nordic</a>, forms of <a href="/wiki/Germanic_paganism" title="Germanic paganism">Germanic paganism</a> converted to <a href="/wiki/Christianity" title="Christianity">Christianity</a> and adopted Christian worldviews. The process of <a href="/wiki/Christianisation" class="mw-redirect" title="Christianisation">Christianisation</a> and timing of the adoption of Christianity varied by region and was not necessarily a one-way process, with the traditional religion regaining dominance in most kingdoms at least once after their first Christian king. Kings likely often converted for political reasons such as the imposition by a more powerful king, to gain legitimacy, and to access book-writing traditions; however, there were also significant drawbacks to the conversion that may explain the reluctance of many kings to be baptised. The first major step was the <a href="/wiki/Gregorian_mission" title="Gregorian mission">Gregorian mission</a> that landed in the <a href="/wiki/Kingdom_of_Kent" title="Kingdom of Kent">Kingdom of Kent</a> in 597, and within the <a href="/wiki/Heptarchy" title="Heptarchy">Heptarchy</a>, <a href="/wiki/%C3%86thelberht_of_Kent" title="Æthelberht of Kent">Æthelberht of Kent</a> became the first Anglo-Saxon king to be baptised, around 600. He in turn imposed Christianity on <a href="/wiki/Saebert_of_Essex" class="mw-redirect" title="Saebert of Essex">Saebert of Essex</a> and <a href="/wiki/R%C3%A6dwald_of_East_Anglia" title="Rædwald of East Anglia">Rædwald of East Anglia</a>. Around 628, <a href="/wiki/Eadwine_of_Deira" class="mw-redirect" title="Eadwine of Deira">Eadwine of Deira</a> was baptised and promoted the new religion in <a href="/wiki/Northumbria" title="Northumbria">Northumbria</a>, being the kingdom north of the <a href="/wiki/Humber" title="Humber">Humber</a>. The expansion of Christianity in Northern England was later aided by the <a href="/wiki/Hiberno-Scottish_mission" title="Hiberno-Scottish mission">Hiberno-Scottish mission</a>, arriving from the Scottish island of <a href="/wiki/Iona" title="Iona">Iona</a> around 634. <a href="/wiki/Mercia" title="Mercia">Mercia</a> adopted Christianity after the death of heathen king <a href="/wiki/Penda_of_Mercia" title="Penda of Mercia">Penda</a> in 655. The last Anglo-Saxon king to adhere to the traditional religion was <a href="/wiki/Arwald" title="Arwald">Arwald</a> of <a href="/wiki/Wihtwara" title="Wihtwara">Wihtwara</a>, who was killed in battle in 686, at which point <a href="/wiki/Kingdom_of_Sussex" title="Kingdom of Sussex">Sussex</a> and <a href="/wiki/Wessex" title="Wessex">Wessex</a> had already adopted Christianity. During the <a href="/wiki/Viking_Age" title="Viking Age">Viking Age</a>, circa 800–1050, settlers from <a href="/wiki/Scandinavia" title="Scandinavia">Scandinavia</a> reintroduced paganism to eastern and northern England. Though evidence is limited, it seems that they broadly converted to Christianity within generations, with the last potentially heathen king being <a href="/wiki/Eric_Bloodaxe" title="Eric Bloodaxe">Eric Haraldsson Bloodaxe</a>, who ruled in <a href="/wiki/Scandinavian_York" title="Scandinavian York">York</a> until 954, when he was driven out by king <a href="/wiki/Eadred" title="Eadred">Eadred of the English</a>. Practices perceived as heathen continued in England after the conversion of kings, with the first record of them being made illegal taking place under the rule of <a href="/wiki/Eorcenberht_of_Kent" title="Eorcenberht of Kent">Eorcenberht of Kent</a> around 640. Laws forbidding these practices continued into the 11th century, with punishments ranging from <a href="/wiki/Fine_(penalty)" title="Fine (penalty)">fines</a> to <a href="/wiki/Fasting" title="Fasting">fasting</a> and <a href="/wiki/Capital_punishment" title="Capital punishment">execution</a>. Other practices and ideas blended with the incoming Christian culture to create mixed practices, for example the use of Christian saints to combat harmful beings such as <a href="/wiki/Dwarf_(folklore)" title="Dwarf (folklore)">dwarfs</a> or <a href="/wiki/Elves" class="mw-redirect" title="Elves">elves</a>, and the use of Germanic words to refer to Christian concepts such as "<a href="/wiki/God_in_Christianity" title="God in Christianity">God</a>", "<a href="/wiki/Heaven" title="Heaven">Heaven</a>" and "<a href="/wiki/Hell" title="Hell">Hell</a>". Beyond word usage, other Germanic elements also continued to be used and developed into the <a href="/wiki/Modern_period" class="mw-redirect" title="Modern period">modern period</a> in folklore, such as in British ballad traditions.

It has been suggested that writers may have downplayed the role of British communities in the origins of English church sites and that Christian communities may have remained relatively strong in the west and north of Britain, and possibly in small pockets in the east and south. This may be attested in the placename <a href="/wiki/Eccles,_Kent" title="Eccles, Kent">Eccles</a>, derived from the word for church in <a href="/wiki/Common_Brittonic" title="Common Brittonic">Common Brittonic</a> (eglwys) and Latin (ecclesia), and in archaeological finds in Lincoln.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHighamRyan2013156-10">[10]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Nature_of_conversion_and_Christianisation">Nature of conversion and Christianisation</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Christianisation_of_Anglo-Saxon_England&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Nature of conversion and Christianisation">edit</a>]</div> Paganism and Christianity are often portrayed as distinct and in opposition by Church officials such as Bede, <a href="/wiki/%C3%86lfric_of_Eynsham" title="Ælfric of Eynsham">Ælfric</a> and <a href="/wiki/Wulfstan_(died_956)" title="Wulfstan (died 956)">Wulfstan</a>, with conversion corresponding in a dramatic shift from one to the other. In practice, while this may have been true in the sphere of formal religion, this is only a small part of the wider popular religion where they blended together. It has been proposed that in cases where there is continuity between traditional Germanic religion and practices attested after conversion, this should be seen as the retention of Germanic folklore in Christianity rather than the continuation of paganism as a religious system.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEJolly19969–10-11">[11]</a> It has also been argued that Anglo-Saxon and Nordic paganism are better conceived of as groupings of religious systems or paganisms with shared characteristics rather than individual religions and that they were inseparable from other aspects of life in the cultures of those that practiced them.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEPluskowski2011764–765,_775-12">[12]</a><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEGunnell201556–57-13">[13]</a> Furthermore, it has been argued that paganism and Christianity were not two alternative versions of the same social phenomenon and that heathens and Christians likely would have had different conceptions of what religion was. Because of this, the traditional religions could not be replaced by Christianity in a one-for-one swap. Converts could for this reason potentially not see actions for which they were criticised as conflicting with their new religion.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEAbrams2000144–145-14">[14]</a> Similarly, one person could worship both the traditional gods and the Christian god, or different gods be worshipped by different people within one household, possibly explaining the cases of unbaptised children of convert kings described by Bede.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEYorke2003244–245-15">[15]</a> The terms "conversion" and "Christianisation" are sometimes used interchangeably to refer to the adoption of Christianity; however, <a href="/wiki/Lesley_Abrams" title="Lesley Abrams">Lesley Abrams</a> proposed that it is useful to use "conversion" to refer to the first transition, marked by a formal acceptance of Christianity such as baptism, and "Christianisation" to refer to the penetration of Christian beliefs and practices into the converted society, with the latter process being much more difficult to measure.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEAbrams201631-16">[16]</a> She further suggests conversion possibly being about leaders and Christianisation being about those they lead.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEAbrams2000138-17">[17]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Kent,_c._597–624">Kent, c. 597–624</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Christianisation_of_Anglo-Saxon_England&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Kent, c. 597–624">edit</a>]</div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Late_6th_century:_Æthelbert_of_Kent_marries_Bertha">Late 6th century: Æthelbert of Kent marries Bertha</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Christianisation_of_Anglo-Saxon_England&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Late 6th century: Æthelbert of Kent marries Bertha">edit</a>]</div> In 595, when <a href="/wiki/Pope_Gregory_I" title="Pope Gregory I">Pope Gregory I</a> decided to send a mission to convert the <a href="/wiki/Anglo-Saxons" title="Anglo-Saxons">Anglo-Saxons</a> to Christianity, the <a href="/wiki/Kingdom_of_Kent" title="Kingdom of Kent">Kingdom of Kent</a> was ruled by <a href="/wiki/%C3%86thelberht_of_Kent" title="Æthelberht of Kent">Æthelberht</a>.

Markus proposes that this was due to the strong heathen presence in Kent which forced the king to rely on indirect means to secure conversions, including royal patronage and friendship, rather than force. For Markus, this is demonstrated by the way in which Bede describes the king's conversion efforts, in which he could not compel them to adopt Christianity, instead being able to only "rejoice at their conversion" and to "hold believers in greater affection".<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMarkus1997182–183-45">[39]</a> Some time after Æthelberht's conversion, Bertha died and Æthelberht married again to a woman whose name is not recorded, but was likely to have been heathen.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEKirby200037-46">[40]</a><a href="#cite_note-47">[note 7]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="c._616–640:_Eadbald's_reign">c. 616–640: Eadbald's reign</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Christianisation_of_Anglo-Saxon_England&action=edit&section=8" title="Edit section: c. 616–640: Eadbald's reign">edit</a>]</div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Heathen_reaction_upon_Æthelberht's_death">Heathen reaction upon Æthelberht's death</h4>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Christianisation_of_Anglo-Saxon_England&action=edit&section=9" title="Edit section: Heathen reaction upon Æthelberht's death">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:The_Finglesham_Buckle_at_the_Ashmolean_Museum.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f7/The_Finglesham_Buckle_at_the_Ashmolean_Museum.jpg/200px-The_Finglesham_Buckle_at_the_Ashmolean_Museum.jpg" decoding="async" width="200" height="343" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f7/The_Finglesham_Buckle_at_the_Ashmolean_Museum.jpg/300px-The_Finglesham_Buckle_at_the_Ashmolean_Museum.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f7/The_Finglesham_Buckle_at_the_Ashmolean_Museum.jpg/400px-The_Finglesham_Buckle_at_the_Ashmolean_Museum.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2711" data-file-height="4643" /></a><figcaption>Golden buckle from <a href="/wiki/Finglesham_Anglo-Saxon_cemetery" title="Finglesham Anglo-Saxon cemetery">Finglesham</a>, interpreted as connected to the cult of <a href="/wiki/W%C5%8Dden" class="mw-redirect" title="Wōden">Wōden</a> and suggested to date to the time of Eadbald's heathen resurgence in the 7th century.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTECampbellJohnWormald199124–25,_48–49"Finglesham._A_Cemetery_in_East_Kent"_and_"The_Archaeology_of_Conversion:_Cemeteries"-48">[41]</a></figcaption></figure> <a href="/wiki/Eadbald_of_Kent" title="Eadbald of Kent">Eadbald</a> became king of Kent on the death of his father on 24 February 616, or possibly 618.

This has been proposed to have taken place in 627, with the short time after the death of Rædwald suggesting the high priority of this to Eadwine and Paulinus.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHigham1997102–103,_181-96">[88]</a> It is possible that after the baptism, Eorpwald was forced to accept a Deiran priest into his court, however Bede does not record this taking place, nor of any churches being built in East Anglia at this time. Bede does however describe the conversion of the entire kingdom, which may imply that Eadwine and Paulinus travelled there to oversee an event such as a mass baptism. Similar to when Æthelberht of Kent imposed Christianity on Rædwald, Eorpwald's baptism because of Eadwine has been proposed to have had a colonial dimension. By this idea, the conversion was a means of making Eorpwald accept a foreign cult and an authority whose seat was outside his own kingdom.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHigham1997181–183-98">[90]</a> In 627 or 628, Eorpwald was killed in a heathen reaction, with Bede identifying the killer as <a href="/wiki/Ricberht" class="mw-redirect" title="Ricberht">Ricberht</a> who then likely succeeded him as king of the East Angles.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEYorke1990-99">[91]</a><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHigham1997182–183-100">[92]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="c._627–640:_Overthrow_of_Ricberht_by_Sigeberht_and_solidification_of_Christianity">c. 627–640: Overthrow of Ricberht by Sigeberht and solidification of Christianity</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Christianisation_of_Anglo-Saxon_England&action=edit&section=19" title="Edit section: c. 627–640: Overthrow of Ricberht by Sigeberht and solidification of Christianity">edit</a>]</div> After the killing of Eorpwald, Ricberht is described by Bede as being king for 3 years, despite the power held by Eadwine at that time. It has been argued that the length of his reign attests to the support for Ricberht's overthrowing of Eorpwald; there was likely a strong East Anglian dislike of Eadwine's overlordship over the kingdom and of Eorpwald's compliance with the domination.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHigham1997182–183-100">[92]</a> It has been further suggested that Ricberht's name implies that he was a member of the East Anglian elite and possibly from the royal family itself.<a href="#cite_note-101">[note 9]</a><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEYorke1990-99">[91]</a> In 630 or 631, Eorpwald's brother <a href="/wiki/Sigeberht_of_East_Anglia" title="Sigeberht of East Anglia">Sigeberht</a> succeeded to the throne after having been exiled during his brother's reign to Gaul, where he had adopted Christianity and after this point no heathen kings of the East Angles are recorded.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEYorke1990-99">[91]</a><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEKirby200062-102">[93]</a><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEYorke2003247–248-103">[94]</a> He is described as ruling one part of the kingdom of East Anglia, while his kinsman <a href="/wiki/Ecgric" class="mw-redirect" title="Ecgric">Ecgric</a>, who was possibly heathen and remained so, ruled the other.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEKirby200081-104">[95]</a><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEYorke199062,_69-105">[96]</a><a href="#cite_note-106">[note 10]</a> Sigeberht's exile attests to the ties between the East Anglian and Merovingian royal families during the 7th century.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEKirby200062-102">[93]</a> Similarly, continental elites, as opposed to Eadwine of Deira, are most likely responsible for supporting his takeover in East Anglia.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHigham1997183-107">[97]</a> Subsequently, continental missionaries were key in the conversion of East Anglia in the 630s, with <a href="/wiki/Felix_of_Burgundy" title="Felix of Burgundy">Felix of Burgundy</a> being appointed as bishop to spread Christianity among the kingdom.

This stance was continued by scholars into the early 20th century when there was a shift towards a more secular understanding of history. New lines of argumentation focused on the usefulness of Christianity both from a practical and ideological standpoint.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTETyler2007144–145-208">[196]</a> Missionaries in the early Middle Ages employed a top-down in which they focussed on the most powerful in society, aiming to persuade them, who in turn would persuade their subjects.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEAbrams2000138-17">[17]</a> Scholars have argued that one of these persuading factors was that Christianity offered a new institutional framework for kingdom cohesion and new ways for powerful kings to assert control over those who were less powerful. The Church was also an alternative means of increasing one's status and power; becoming a monk or nun also enabled secular elites to avoid marriage, difficult political conditions and family duties.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHighamRyan2013158-52">[45]</a> Early medieval rulers also looked to Rome for legitimacy and ways of asserting power; the close association of Christianity with the strength and empire of Rome could thus have made it a powerful tool. With the Church also came a book-writing tradition and increased literacy, aiding in <a href="/wiki/Bureaucracy" title="Bureaucracy">bureaucracy</a>.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTETyler2007146-209">[197]</a> Nonetheless, many kings remained heathen, possibly due to an unwillingness to harm relations with the elites on which they depended to remain in power, many of whom likely saw Christianity as intrusive and unwelcome. Ecclesiastical History of the English People refers to the importance of this support in the baptism of the king of the East Saxons <a href="/wiki/Sigeberht" class="mw-redirect" title="Sigeberht">Sigeberht</a>. King Edwin of Northumbria similarly is written to have sought advice from his council before converting.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTETyler2007146–147,_160–161-210">[198]</a> Funding the Church was very costly, with land being given away forever. In the 7th century, a parts the land taken by force from heathen kings could be given to the Church, as in Cædwalla's conquering of <a href="/wiki/Isle_of_Wight" title="Isle of Wight">Wight</a> in which he gave a quarter of the island to <a href="/wiki/Wilfrid" title="Wilfrid">Wilfrid</a>, totalling 300 <a href="/wiki/Hide_(unit)" title="Hide (unit)">hides</a>. Similarly, King Oswiu gave the Church 120 hides to found 10 monasteries after his victory over the heathen king <a href="/wiki/Penda" class="mw-redirect" title="Penda">Penda</a>.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHighamRyan2013159-211">[199]</a> Bestowal of land to the Church would have limited the amount of land that could be given to elites as a reward for service and loyalty. In the early stages of the establishment of Christianity, churchmen were typically not English in origin and did not have ties to local elites, whilst later on, even though more were English, they still would have likely come from other kingdoms. This lack of access of local elites to the king's resources is suggested by Bede to be the reason that in the 8th century, young nobles were forced to leave Northumbria in order to acquire land. Reluctance to adopt Christianity may also have been as it held a much stricter monopology on religious practice, with only priests being able to perform certain rituals, in contrast to Anglo-Saxon traditional religion which seemed not to have such a strict division in roles. Heathen elites, in contrast, led large-scale religious events, with feasts believed to have been held at their halls. This participation would likely have strengthened their reputation in the community and was important for upholding their power.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTETyler2007148–153-212">[200]</a> Wives could also be significant influencing factors over whether a king would choose to adopt Christianity or not. Bede writes that the wife of Rædwald convinced him to continue worshiping traditional gods whilst <a href="/wiki/Pope_Boniface_V" title="Pope Boniface V">Pope Boniface V</a> sent a letter to <a href="/wiki/%C3%86%C3%BEelburh_of_Kent" class="mw-redirect" title="Æþelburh of Kent">Æþelburh of Kent</a> urging her to persuade her husband Edwin of Northumbria to convert. <a href="/wiki/Kate_Cooper" title="Kate Cooper">Kate Cooper</a> has argued that the depiction of wives having influence over the views of their husbands is a literary feature that does not reflect historical fact, however this is rejected by other scholars who argue that whilst this may be the case in some instances, it is likely to be based on reality. That queens had significant power in religious matters is attested more widely such as in the <a href="/wiki/Life_of_St_Wilfrid" class="mw-redirect" title="Life of St Wilfrid">Life of St Wilfrid</a>, in which <a href="/wiki/Wilfrid" title="Wilfrid">Wilfrid</a> goes to <a href="/wiki/Queen_Eanfl%C3%A6d" class="mw-redirect" title="Queen Eanflæd">Queen Eanflæd</a> for patronship, rather than her husband <a href="/wiki/Oswiu" title="Oswiu">Oswiu</a>. It has been proposed that this power of queens originated principally in their kinship ties with queens often being from other kingdoms to their husbands.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTETyler2007154–157-213">[201]</a> Furthermore, many early Christian kings were succeeded by sons who either were not baptised or returned to heathenry upon the deaths of their fathers. It has been argued that the balance between the two ideologies was highly fluid and the decision was closely intertwined with the power balance of local elites. Affirming adherence to the traditional religion could have been used to raise support from local elites, such as in the case of Essex where Christianity was imposed on the region by Kent, and after the death of <a href="/wiki/S%C3%A6berht" class="mw-redirect" title="Sæberht">Sæberht</a>, his sons <a href="/wiki/Sexr%C3%A6d_and_S%C3%A6ward" class="mw-redirect" title="Sexræd and Sæward">Sexræd and Sæward</a> rejected Christianity and held to Anglo-Saxon paganism instead. This may have been seen as an act of asserting independence that would have appealed those who opposed the Kentish hegemony. Following this, it has been suggested that established kings may have been more likely to be baptised so as to gain access to the benefits of Christianity while those vying for kingship may have towards keeping to the traditional religion. This may be why kings like <a href="/wiki/Eadbald_of_Kent" title="Eadbald of Kent">Eadbald</a> and <a href="/wiki/Cenwalh" class="mw-redirect" title="Cenwalh">Cenwalh</a> may have adopted Christianity once secure in their rulership.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTETyler2007157–160-214">[202]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Cultural_effects">Cultural effects</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Christianisation_of_Anglo-Saxon_England&action=edit&section=46" title="Edit section: Cultural effects">edit</a>]</div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Adoption_of_Frankish,_Roman_and_Christian_customs">Adoption of Frankish, Roman and Christian customs</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Christianisation_of_Anglo-Saxon_England&action=edit&section=47" title="Edit section: Adoption of Frankish, Roman and Christian customs">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Anglo-Saxon_thrymsa_650-675_AD.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img alt="" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/11/Anglo-Saxon_thrymsa_650-675_AD.jpg/220px-Anglo-Saxon_thrymsa_650-675_AD.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="111" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/11/Anglo-Saxon_thrymsa_650-675_AD.jpg/330px-Anglo-Saxon_thrymsa_650-675_AD.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/11/Anglo-Saxon_thrymsa_650-675_AD.jpg/440px-Anglo-Saxon_thrymsa_650-675_AD.jpg 2x" data-file-width="6289" data-file-height="3177" /></a><figcaption>An early medieval Anglo-Saxon gold <a href="/wiki/%C3%9Erymsa" class="mw-redirect" title="Þrymsa">þrymsa</a> coin from c. 650–675 CE.</figcaption></figure> During the conversion period there was a shift away from Scandinavian influence and towards Frankish and <a href="/wiki/Eastern_Roman" class="mw-redirect" title="Eastern Roman">Eastern Roman</a> culture.

Elves similarly are ultimately derived from Germanic paganism though how they were understood has changed significantly over time and it is unclear if their roles in ballads align well with how they were conceived of in pre-Christian religions.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMcKinnell2021-263">[250]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Importance_of_English_missionaries">Importance of English missionaries</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Christianisation_of_Anglo-Saxon_England&action=edit&section=50" title="Edit section: Importance of English missionaries">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:St_Boniface_-_Baptising-Martyrdom_-_Sacramentary_of_Fulda_-_11Century.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/79/St_Boniface_-_Baptising-Martyrdom_-_Sacramentary_of_Fulda_-_11Century.jpg/220px-St_Boniface_-_Baptising-Martyrdom_-_Sacramentary_of_Fulda_-_11Century.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="315" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/79/St_Boniface_-_Baptising-Martyrdom_-_Sacramentary_of_Fulda_-_11Century.jpg/330px-St_Boniface_-_Baptising-Martyrdom_-_Sacramentary_of_Fulda_-_11Century.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/79/St_Boniface_-_Baptising-Martyrdom_-_Sacramentary_of_Fulda_-_11Century.jpg/440px-St_Boniface_-_Baptising-Martyrdom_-_Sacramentary_of_Fulda_-_11Century.jpg 2x" data-file-width="543" data-file-height="777" /></a><figcaption>The English <a href="/wiki/St_Boniface" class="mw-redirect" title="St Boniface">St Boniface</a> baptising (top) and being martyred (bottom) as depicted on the <a href="/w/index.php?title=Fulda_Sacramentary&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Fulda Sacramentary (page does not exist)">Fulda Sacramentary</a></figcaption></figure> After the establishment of the Church in England, many <a href="/wiki/Anglo-Saxon_mission" title="Anglo-Saxon mission">English missionaries</a> became instrumental in the adoption of Christianity amongst other peoples in <a href="/wiki/Northern_Europe" title="Northern Europe">Northern Europe</a> such as the <a href="/wiki/Saxons" title="Saxons">Saxons</a> and <a href="/wiki/Northmen" class="mw-redirect" title="Northmen">Scandinavians</a>.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEAbrams1995217–223-264">[251]</a> <a href="/wiki/Saint_Boniface" title="Saint Boniface">Saint Boniface</a> also spent 6 years in <a href="/wiki/Frisia" title="Frisia">Frisia</a> in the early 8th century in an ultimately unsuccessful mission.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHiggins1933199-265">[252]</a> In particular, after the failed German missions in the 9th century, the <a href="/wiki/Christianisation_of_Scandinavia" class="mw-redirect" title="Christianisation of Scandinavia">Christianisation of Denmark, Norway and Sweden</a> during the late 10th and 11th centuries was dominated by Englishmen.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEAbrams1995213-266">[253]</a> Notably, <a href="/wiki/H%C3%A1kon_g%C3%B3%C3%B0i" class="mw-redirect" title="Hákon góði">Hákon góði</a>, the son of <a href="/wiki/Haraldr_h%C3%A1rfagri" class="mw-redirect" title="Haraldr hárfagri">Haraldr hárfagri</a>, was also fostered by <a href="/wiki/%C3%86%C3%B0elst%C4%81n" class="mw-redirect" title="Æðelstān">Æðelstān</a> around 930 CE, leading to him later being referred to as Aðalsteinsfóstri ("Æðelstān's foster-son").

Let water be blessed and sprinkled in the same temples, and let altars be constructed and relics placed there. For if those temples have been well constructed, it is necessary that they should be changed from the cult of demons to the worship of the true God, so that, while that race sees itself that its temples are not being destroyed, it may remove error from its people's hearts, and by knowing and adoring the true God, they may come together in their customary places in a more friendly manner. And because they are accustomed to killing many oxen (boves) while sacrificing to their demons, some solemn rites should be changed for them over this matter. So on the day of the dedication, or the festivals of the holy martyrs, whose relics are placed there, they should make huts for themselves around those churches that have been converted from shrines, with branches of trees, and they should celebrate the festival with religious feasting. Do not let them sacrifice animals to the devil, but let them slaughter animals for eating in praise of God ... It is doubtless impossible to cut out from their stubborn minds everything at once ... Thus the Lord made himself known to the Israelites in Egypt; yet he preserved in his own worship the forms of sacrifice which they were accustomed to offer to the devil and commanded them to kill animals when sacrificing to him (Leviticus 17: 1–9).
