The first laws of an English ruler, Ethelbert of Kent, who was supreme among the 7 Anglo-Saxon rulers. He was converted to Rome and monks became his clerks. The arrival of Augustine marks the forma; beginning of Enlish history, ending a periond of about a century and a half of which we know very little.

While Ethelbert was an English ruler, he didn't rule all of England, he was the monarch of Kent. Christianity didn't become the predominate religion in all of England until sometime during the 8th century, its organization being controlled by Rome for the first time in about 778.
