A:The Angles and Saxons invaded Britain in the sixth century, restoring paganism to England.

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.

Similar scenes played out in other parts of the Anglo-Saxon lands. Conversion was sometimes incomplete if not meaningless. King Raedwald (d. 625) of East Anglia was said to have had one altar to sacrifice to Christ and one to the pagan gods. To the early Anglo-Saxons, Christianity's appeal was not a spiritual one.

Truth and Love appeal to most all mankind, Anglo-Saxons included.

Britain was attractive to early invaders because of the forests, wild animals and stories about being able to find precious metals like gold, silver etc.
