Excerpt from The Conversion of England, Vol. 3 of 3: Being a Sequel to the Monks of the WestThe country now called Scotland was then divided, as has been seen, _between the Picts in the north and east, the Scots in the west, the Britons in Strathclyde, and the Northumbrians in the south. The supremacy of the Northumbrian kings, up to the downfall of nrid, over all the districts south of the Clyde and Forth, had been sufficient to secure, in that part of the country, the observance of the Roman ritual, represented by such men as Wilfrid and Cuthbert. The con version of the Picts, under King Nechtan, to the Roman rule, in respect to Easter, established litur gical and theological unity throughout the northern part of Great Britain, with the exception of the isle of Iona and the little kingdom of the Dalri adian Scots, which probably to the last extremity remained faithful to the ritual and traditions of their national sanctuary.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
