A Christian mission sent in 597 from Rome to Britain, under Augustine, visited the king of Kent who agreed it would be politically valuable to have continental support, and so became Christian and his subjects therefore became Christians. In this case, the common people had no say in the matter, and even the king only became a Christian out of expediency.
