The king of the Goths was an Arian and by (this) Arian his son was seized in order to make him an unbeliever, and he cast the son bound in fetters into prison, and did not let him, until he believed firmly: so because of that belief it came to pass that he was made a king and a martyr, and God chose him, as king and martyr, into the heavenly kingdom. And his brother Ricaredus came, after his father, to the province, that he might receive the kingdom of the Goths, and he received the realm completely; and through the teaching of the bishop Leonardus, he and his kindred turned fully to the Faith.

of Church. At the end of fourteen years of the lordship of the king, that convention was commenced in Peter's place in Rome, and this is the final resolution to which they came: they appointed Mellito and Johannes and Augustinus to teach and preach in Britain and in England and in the province. And God heard their intercessions and their requests, and wrought for them great miracles and marvels, and sent with them many godly, holy monks; and these sowed belief and devotion in the provinces into which they were sent. And on that occasion Aethelbert the king turned to the Faith, and all the province with him, and he was made a bishop; and the Saxons believed in Augustinus, and 'tis he that was bishop in London. And Gregory sent writings to Augustinus to give him the rank of archbishop. At the end of twelve years after his coming from the east the rank of archbishop was conferred upon him. Gregorius, Londini quoque et Eboraci episcopos, accepto a sede apostolica pallio, metropolitanos esse debere decernit.
