Saint Columba was a leading Irish missionary who around 563 founded a base on the Scottish island of Iona, from which to convert Pictish pagans in Scotland. Columban monks then went to Northumbria in 635 and founded a monastery on the island of Lindisfarne, from which to convert the north of England. However Rome had already begun the conversion of Anglo-Saxons from the south with a mission to Kent in 577. There arose a conflict between the Irish monks and Rome on the date to celebrate Easter, so the Irish mission withdrew from Lindisfarne back to Iona, although evidently leaving a major influence behind, as the Lindisfarne Gospels were produced after this. Anglo-Saxon England would come under increasingly Mediterranean influence, but not before a golden age of Irish Celtic and Anglo-Saxon art had profitably fused.
