Justus
Justus (sometimes Iustus;〔Higham ''Convert Kings'' p. 94〕 died on 10 November between 627 and 631) was the fourth Archbishop of Canterbury. He was sent from Italy to England by Pope Gregory the Great, on a mission to Christianize the Anglo-Saxons from their native paganism, probably arriving with the second group of missionaries despatched in 601. Justus became the first Bishop of Rochester in 604, and attended a church council in Paris in 614.
Following the death of King Æthelberht of Kent in 616, Justus was forced to flee to Gaul, but was reinstated in his diocese the following year. In 624 Justus became Archbishop of Canterbury, overseeing the despatch of missionaries to Northumbria. After his death he was revered as a saint, and had a shrine in St Augustine's Abbey, Canterbury.
==Arrival in Britain==
Justus was an Italian and a member of the Gregorian mission sent to England by Pope Gregory I. Almost everything known about Justus and his career is derived from the early 8th-century ''Historia ecclesiastica gentis Anglorum'' of Bede.〔Hunt "Justus" ''Oxford Dictionary of National Biography''〕 As Bede does not describe Justus' origins, nothing is known about him prior to his arrival in England. He probably arrived in England with the second group of missionaries, sent at the request of Augustine of Canterbury in 601.〔〔Stenton ''Anglo-Saxon England'' p. 109〕 Some modern writers describe Justus as one of the original missionaries who arrived with Augustine in 597,〔Hindley ''Brief History of the Anglo-Saxons'' p. 65〕 but Bede believed that Justus came in the second group.〔Blair ''World of Bede'' pp. 84–87〕〔Wallace-Hadrill ''Bede's Ecclesiastical History'' p. 43〕 The second group included Mellitus, who later became Bishop of London and Archbishop of Canterbury.〔Brooks "Mellitus" ''Oxford Dictionary of National Biography''〕
If Justus was a member of the second group of missionaries, then he arrived with a gift of books and "all things which were needed for worship and the ministry of the Church".〔Bede ''History of the English Church and People'' p. 85–86〕〔Mayr-Harting ''Coming of Christianity'' p. 62〕 A 15th-century Canterbury chronicler, Thomas of Elmham, claimed that there were a number of books brought to England by that second group still at Canterbury in his day, although he did not identify them. An investigation of extant Canterbury manuscripts shows that one possible survivor is the St. Augustine Gospels, now in Cambridge, Corpus Christi College, Manuscript (MS) 286.〔
