King Ecgberht granted her some land in Sheppey where she founded and directed Minster Abbey, having already founded one convent at Milton.
On her husband‘s death in 664, she temporarily served as regent. Her parents were King Onna of East Anglia and his queen Saewara she married King Eorcenberht of Kent, grandson of the great King Aethelberht I and Queen Bertha of Kent and she bore four children, of whom her two sons Ecgberht and Hlothhere became successive Kings of Kent, and her two daughters Ercongota and Eormenhild, both nuns, became saints. St Sexburga of Ely (ca 640-ca 699)įew people in history can have had as prestigious a family tree as Seaxburh (or Sexburga) of Ely. The oldest church in the English-speaking world, St Martin’s in Canterbury, was built for Bertha’s benefit, and she was made a saint for her role in re-establishing Christianity in England. Although her son, the future King Eadbald of Kent, repudiated her beliefs, her daughter Aethelburg married a Northumbrian king and so carried Christianity further north. Without her influence, it is doubtful whether Augustine could have met with a positive reception in England indeed, Pope Gregory the Great even wrote to acknowledge Bertha’s piety. She was a devout Christian, and shared her convictions with her pagan husband.

Needless to say, this resounding success was rewarded by canonisation. Yet Augustine proved so adept on arrival that he converted the Kentish king, founded the English Church, built cathedrals at Canterbury and Rochester as well as St Augustine’s Abbey, and became the first Archbishop of Canterbury. The mission was a shot in the dark, and nearly collapsed even before reaching Kent. To this end, he sent an obscure Benedictine monk called Augustine as a missionary. Late in the C6, Pope Gregory the Great saw an opening to reassert Rome’s control of this far-off island, when the Christian daughter of King Charibert of Paris married the pagan King of Kent.
