Augustine of Canterbury (died c. 604) was a Benedictine monk who became the first Archbishop of Canterbury. He is considered the "Apostle to the English" and a founder of the Church of England.
In 595,[1] Augustine was sent by the Bishop of Rome Pope Gregory I to Britain to convert the locals to Christianity. During his time in the Kingdom of Kent, he converted King Ethelbert of Kent and its citizens.[2] This ultimately led to the establishment of churches in the kingdom[1] and his appointment as the first Archbishop of Canterbury.[2]
