_St. Matthias_, the Apostle. _Sts. Montanus_, _Lucius_, _Flavian_, _Julian_, _Victoricus_, _Primolus_, _Rhenus_, and _Donation_, A. D. 259. _St. Lethard_, or _Luidhard_, Bp. A. D. 566. B. _Robert_ of Arbrissel, A. D. 1116. _St. Pretextatus_, or _Prix_, Abp. A. D. 549. _St. Ethelbert_, King. _St. Ethelbert._ He was king of Kent, and, according to Butler, the first christian king. It was under him that St. Augustine found favour when he landed in England with his monks, and is said to have introduced Christianity to the English people; an assertion wholly unfounded, inasmuch as it had been diffused hither centuries before. Augustine established nothing but monasteries and monkery, and papal domination. Bertha, the queen of Ethelbert, was a convert, and her spiritual director officiated, before Augustine’s arrival, in the little church of St. Martin, situated just without Canterbury on the road to Margate; the present edifice is venerable for its site and its rude simplicity. Ethelbert’s power is said to have extended to the Humber, and hence he is often styled king of the English. He was subdued to the views of the papacy by Augustine. Ethelbert founded Canterbury cathedral, and built without the walls of the city, the abbey and church of St. Peter and St. Paul, the ruins of which are denominated at this day St. Augustine’s monastery and Ethelbert’s tower. The foundation of the cathedral of Rochester, St. Paul’s at London, and other ecclesiastical structures, is ascribed to him. He died in 616. Sometimes he is called St. Albert, and churches are dedicated to him under that name. CHRONOLOGY.
