Bertha of Kent was a Frankish princess who served as the queen consort of King Æthelberht of Kent. Born around 565 in Neustria, she moved to England following her marriage in 580, which was granted on the condition that she could maintain her Christian faith. Her influence was instrumental in facilitating the Gregorian mission, led by Augustine, which helped initiate the widespread conversion of Anglo-Saxon England to Christianity. She is recognized as a saint in the Catholic, Anglican, and Orthodox traditions.
