Abstract

IN MANY WAYS Chester and Gloucester had rather similar histories in the early Middle Ages. Both were towns with a significant Roman past;· both contained notable ecclesiastical institutions but were not episcopal sees; both benefited considerably from the activites of Alfred's daughter Aethelflaed and her husband Aethelred. This paper represents an attempt to discern some kind of pattern in the origin and development of Christianity at these sites in the period up to and including the crucial early tenth century reorganization.
