Peter of Canterbury

Peter of Canterbury〔 or Petrus〔Hunt "Petrus (St Petrus)" ''Oxford Dictionary of National Biography''〕 (died c. 607 or after 614) was a Benedictine abbot and companion of Augustine in the Gregorian mission to England. He became the first abbot of what would become St Augustine's Abbey. Augustine sent Peter as an emissary to Rome around 600 to convey news of the mission to Pope Gregory I. Peter's death has traditionally been dated to around 607, but evidence suggests that he was present at a church council in Paris in 614, so he probably died after that date.
==Life==

It is presumed that Peter was a native of Italy, like the other members of the Gregorian mission.〔Blair ''World of Bede'' p. 87〕 This mission was dispatched by Pope Gregory the Great in 596 to Christianize the Anglo-Saxons from their native Anglo-Saxon paganism. It landed in Kent in 597, and soon converted King Æthelberht of Kent, who gave Augustine the land on which he founded the abbey that later became St Augustine's, Canterbury.〔Mayr-Harting ''Coming of Christianity'' pp. 61–63〕
The medieval chronicler Bede records that sometime after the mission's arrival in England,〔 probably in late 600,〔 Peter, along with fellow-missionary Laurence, was sent back to Gregory. This deputation was to relay the news of Augustine's successes in Kent, and to request more missionaries.〔Brooks ''Early History of the Church of Canterbury'' pp. 9–10〕 They also conveyed to the pope a number of inquiries from Augustine about how to proceed with the mission, and when they returned in 601, they brought back Gregory's replies to Augustine.〔
Peter became the abbot of the monastery that Æthelberht founded in Canterbury, originally dedicated to the saints Peter and Paul, but later rededicated as St Augustine's, after the leader of the mission.〔 Bede describes Peter as both abbot and ''presbyter'', a word usually translated as priest.〔Brooks ''Early History of the Church of Canterbury'' p. 88〕
