Berthe
Berthe, Princess of Paris, also Bertha, Queen of Kent, (539-c.612) was one of Charibert's daughters. In marrying the pagan King Ethelbert of Kent, she brought her chaplain Liudhard with her, and restored a Christian church in Canterbury, which dated form the Roman occupation, dedicating it to St. Martin. The present St. Martin's at Canterbury occupies the same site. Saint Augustine, who was sent by Gregory the Great to preach the Gospel in England in 596, owed much of his favourable reception there to the influence of Berthe.
