- B. Richard III
- C. Richard II
- D. Ethelbert
Who was the first English Christian king?
There’s a slight correction needed here. While D. Ethelbert of Kent is considered the first Anglo-Saxon king to convert to Christianity, the title of the first English Christian king traditionally goes to A. Alfred.
Here’s a breakdown:
- Ethelbert of Kent: Ruled Kent from 589 to 616 AD and converted to Christianity around 597 AD. However, at that time, England wasn’t a unified kingdom, and Kent was just one of several Anglo-Saxon kingdoms.
- Alfred the Great: King of Wessex from 871 to 899 AD, is widely considered the first king of a unified England. He was raised Christian and played a crucial role in defending England against Viking invasions and promoting education and cultural revival.
Therefore, while Ethelbert’s conversion was a significant event, Alfred is traditionally recognized as the first Christian king of a unified England.
