SUMMARY:Lull: the monk from Malmesbury who converted Germany
DESCRIPTION:A talk by Tony McAleavy \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLull is one of the most remarkable individuals produced by Malmesbury Abbey. \n\n\n\nHe was a member of the religious community in the 720s and early 730s a few years after the death of Aldhelm. He went on pilgrimage to Rome where he joined forces with another Englishman\, St Boniface\, and with him set off to undertake missionary work among the pagan Germans. \n\n\n\nAfter the death of Boniface\, Lull became the leader of the new Church in Germany and the adviser to Emperor Charlemagne. Lull founded a monastery at Hersfeld in Hesse where he was buried. \n\n\n\nTony will tell the extraordinary story of his journey from Malmesbury to Hersfeld.
