Picture No	10503004
Date	Circa 617 A.D.
Description	Archbishop Laurence converts Eadbald
Details	Laurence, Archbishop of Canterbury, convinces King Eadbald of Kent to convert to Christianity. Eadbald, a pagan, succeeded his father Ethelbert (who had converted to Christianity) in 616 A.D. a major setback to the growth of the Church in England. In a tale related by Bede, Archbishop Laurence had given up on converting Eadbald, but experienced a vision in which he was whipped by St Peter. The next morning he showed the marks made by the whipping to the King, which was enough to convert him.
