Gregory the Great effectively promoted Catholic Christianity in post-plague Italy, yet overlooked powerful queens played a crucial role in converting barbarian kingdoms.
The queens, especially from the Frankish line, led significant conversions, which were pivotal examples of female influence in establishing true Christianity during Gregory's papacy.
Gregory's charm with the English, especially in Bede's narrative, illustrates his diplomatic genius, and highlights the cultural exchanges that preceded missionary efforts in England.
Bede’s writings underline Gregory's recognition of the Angles, showcasing how leaders like him sought to convert not just rulers, but entire nations to Christianity.
