"the sort of family values which the Christians disapproved of..." luckily, this was the last time an English King annoyed Rome with his choice of spouse.
In my 1960s comp there was a mural of the angles/angels marketplace incident, though sadly no one ever explained what it was to us. We were in Yorkshire, too so would have been particularly interesting.
Thank you Ed. Loved this article. This era of history is so overlooked, which is a shame as it was so important in the shaping Europe and the rest of the world. I just ordered ‘Path of the Martyrs’!
Merry Christmas everyone!

FYI Saxons versus Vikings: Alfred the Great and the Birth of England, is available on Amazon, including a Kindle edition.
Thanks for an interesting history.

So Christianity was spread to a large degree by women. What about Islam?
