Earliest monastery founded by Anglo-Saxons on the continent

The article text states, "The earliest monastery founded by Anglo-Saxons on the continent is Echternach (698)." Saint Rumbold however, was supposed to have been an 'Irish' (though possibly Scottish) missionary who built a monastery at Mechelen. He is often seen as a contemporary of Willibrord and as a brother of Himelin and thus as an Anglo-Saxon missionary. The traditionally accepted date of his death in 775 would not contradict the statement, but recent state-of-the-art examination of his relics in the St. Rumbolds Cathedral showed a death date between 580 and 655. That would make the assumed monastery at Mechelen several decades earlier than the one in Echternach. I assume the doubt about his death date would make St. Rumbold a Hiberno-Scottish missionary. — SomeHuman 8 Nov 2006 21:11-21:24 (UTC)

Pagan focus

the focus of this article is on the mission of the pagan Saxons and Frisians in the very north of the Frankish Empire, but the Anglo-Saxon mission was also very active in bringing the Arianistic souther neighbours of the Franks to catholic/Nicaean Christianity, notably the Alemanni, the Bavarii, the Langobardians and the remaining Visigoths in Aquitaine. Those tribes had been Christian long before those monks arrived, having adopted a form of Gothic Christianity much earlier and were in the 8th century in their majority not pagan any more. I recommend therefor to add the word "catholic" to the first sentence: Anglo-Saxon missionaries were instrumental in the spread of catholic Christianity in the Frankish Empire during the 8th century. --El bes (talk) 16:39, 25 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

it would be nice if you could add more, referenced, detail on this. Johnbod (talk) 03:35, 15 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The Anglo-Saxon missions deserve so much better than the article so far

WTF is going with this beady little article? it's so small it's creepy! I know most in Britain have never heard of the A.S missions (they haven't been allowed to by the elites) but still, enough good stuff floating about on googlebbooks to a better job than as it stands. Really is a shame. No excuses. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 5.67.247.107 (talk) 18:36, 22 October 2015

How long did the Anglo-Saxon missions to Germany last until?

And what examples of their influence in later yearhundreds? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 5.69.252.128 (talk) 01:29, 17 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
