The christianization of Ireland began in the fourth century AD, before the arrival of St Patrick, but it was not until Patrick arrived that Christianity was firmly planted. He was a leader of deep piety, humility, simplicity and unselfish devotion. *St Columba and the Irish Christian mission to Iona ­ Columba, who had the potential to become a king in Ireland, instead, chose to give his full service to the mission of God. Columba is credited as being a leading figure in bringing the living in monasteries into life again. Iona is a small island in Scotland, where Columba settled and founded a monastery on it.

A.D. Romans occupied Britain for four centuries. The Roman way of life all vanished after the invasions from Northern Europe by the Angles, Saxons and Jutes from the 5th century onwards. They ruined Londinium, but they were easily turned into Christianity and religion became more and more important. The Vikings, who came in the 9th century, first raided England to plunder it, but then they decided to stay. In the 10th century England fell under Danish Rule, with King Canute finally managing to unite the Anglo-Saxons and Danes at the beginning of 11th century. Medieval England After defeating the Anglo-Saxon King Harold at the Battle of Hastings in 1066, William of Normandy (who became William I, also called William the Conqueror) introduced the Norman feudal system, rewarding his French-speaking followers with land in return for their continued support. French remained the language of the upper classes and administration until the 14th century.
