The Britain of 600-800 AD was populated by four distinct peoples;
the British, Picts, Irish and Anglo-Saxons. They spoke 3 different
languages, Gaelic, Brittonic and Old English, and lived in a
diverse cultural environment. In 600 the British and the Irish were
already Christians. In contrast the conversion of the Anglo-Saxons
and Picts occurred somewhat later, at the end of the 6th and during
the 7th century. Religion was one of the ways through which
cultural difference was expressed, and the rulers of different
areas of Britain dictated the nature of the dominant religion in
areas under their control. This book uses the Conversion and the
Christianisation of the different peoples of Britainas a framework
through which to explore the workings of their political systems
and the structures of their society. Because Christianity adapted
to and affected the existing religious beliefs and social norms
wherever it was introduced, it's the perfect medium through which
to study various aspects of society that are difficult to study by
any other means.
