Ancient history

What are 2 methods that were used to promote Christianity during the early Middle Ages?

1. Royal Patronage: Monarchs and other rulers often played a significant role in promoting Christianity. They supported Christian institutions, built churches and monasteries, and encouraged their subjects to convert. For example, King Clovis I of the Franks converted to Christianity in 496 AD and promoted its spread throughout his kingdom.

2. Missionary Work: Dedicated missionaries played a crucial role in the spread of Christianity throughout Europe. Missionaries, like St. Patrick and St. Boniface, traveled to different regions to preach and convert the local populations. They established churches and religious communities, and provided religious instruction and sacraments.
