0.01 sec. |
Ethelbert Ior Aethelberht I(died Feb. 24, 616) King of Kent (560–616). He married the Christian Bertha, daughter of the king of Paris, and, when St. Augustine of Canterbury and other missionaries arrived in Kent in 597, he welcomed them and gave them a dwelling at Canterbury. Though baptized by Augustine along with thousands of his subjects, he did not try to establish Christianity by decree. He produced the first written laws in Anglo-Saxon (see Anglo-Saxon law).
