Years: 960 - 960
Dunstan’s reforms have made the monastery at Glastonbury a famous center of learning; he has also become a leading counselor to the English throne.
When Edgar the Peaceable, a supporter of Dunstan’s monastic reforms, is crowned King of England in 960, Dunstan becomes Archbishop of Canterbury.
He reforms monasteries and enforces the rule of Saint Benedict: Poverty, Chastity and Obedience for monks.
He attempts to impose celibacy on the secular clergy without noticeable success.
Dunstan actively encourages the Danes to integrate with the English.
Dunstan, also renowned as a metalworker, illuminator, and musician, works with Edgar to implement a national program of ecclesiastical reform and political unification.
