 | | In 597, Augustine arrived at Thanet, where he was received by Æthelberht, and granted a dwelling-place in Canterbury and permission to preach (HE, i.25; date from HE, v.24). |
 | | The precise date of Æthelberht's own conversion is unknown, but the outer limits seem to be the arrival of the missionaries in 597 and a letter from the Pope to the newly-converted king in 601. |
 | | The "21 years" is a problem, since it would place the arrival of the missionaries in 595, which contradicts the date of 597 Bede gives elsewhere (HE, v.24, and see the papal letters at HE, i.23-4). |
