She married Edwin, the heathen King of Northumbria in 625AD. She took her Chaplain, Paulinus north with her and converted her husband, who was baptised by Paulinus, the first Archbishop of York, in 627AD on the site where York Minster now stands. Edwin was killed fighting for Christianity against Penda of Mercia. The people became heathen again and Queen Ethelburga and her children fled South. Queen Ethelburga founded an abbey at Lyminge, near Folkestone, where she died in 647AD.
