In 597 on the Isle of Thanet from which he proceeded on to main town Canterbury of the kingdom of Kent. He went to England because Pope Gregory the Great chose him to lead a mission (nowadays known as the Gregorian mission) to Christianize King Aethelbehrt and his kingdom. Kent was probably chosen because it was close to Christian kingdoms in Gaul and Aethelbehrt was married to Bertha daughter of the king of Paris (Christians). He became Archbishop of Kent and died in 1604
