Abstract

Despite a growing interest in the history of the seventh and eighth centuries in recent scholarship, the career of the Northumbrian missionary Willibrord (658–739) has not been studied in monograph form since the 1990s. A new German publication offers a well-arranged summary of his life, yet retains the traditional framework whereby the early medieval ‘Dark Ages’ were overcome through the Christianisation of continental Europe by Insular churchmen.
