their Originall foundations, as in their increa

minster, the order wherof, is appointed by late Statute, euen as that
of London is maintained by the customes therof,
sed before all the time of memorie. And first, to begin with the Eccle
siasticall Iurisdiction, I read, that the Christian faith was first prea
ched in this Iland (then called Britaine) by Ioseph of Aramathia,
and his brethren Disciples of Christ, in the time of Aruiragus, then
Gouernor here, vnder the Romane Emperor: after which time,
Lucius (King of the Britaines) sent his Ambassadors Eluanus, and
Meduuinus (two men learned in the Scriptures) with letters to E
leutherius Bishop of Rome, desiring him to send some deuout and
learned men, by whose instruction he and his people might be taught
the faith and religiō of Christ. Eleutherius baptised those messēgers,
making Eluanus a Bishop, and Meduuinus a Teacher, and sent o
uer with them into Britaine, two other famous Clerkes, Faganus
and Deuuianus, by whose diligence, Lucius and his people of Bri
taine, were instructed in the faith of Christ, and baptised: the Tem
ples of Idols, were conuerted into Cathedrall churches, & Bishops
were placed where Flāmines before had bin: at London, Yorke, and
Carleon vpon Vske, were placed Archbishops, &c. The Epistle said
to be sent, by Eleutherius to king Lucius, for the establishing of the

First, there remaineth in the Parish church of Saint Peter vppon
Cornhill in Londō, a Table, wherein is written, that Lucius foun
ded the same church to be an Archbishops See, and Metrapolitane,

- According to Bede, the Angles arrived in Britain in 449. 147 years after 449 is 596. (KL)↑
- The length of Æthelberht’s reign is debated. According to Bede, Æthelberht became king in 560 or 561 and reigned for 56 years. In contrast, Gregory of Tours describes Æthelberht at the time of his marriage as the son of the King of Kent, suggesting that he was not yet king between approximately 575-581. Different manuscript versions of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle are also inconsistent—one claims that Æthelberht became king in 565 and reigned for 53 years. When sources are put together, it appears that Æthelberht’s reign was either from 560-616 or 565-618; however, these dates are still up for debate. (KL)↑
