 Yorke argues that Justus converted Æthelwald back to Christianity after Æthelberht's death.Justus consecrated Paulinus as the first Bishop of York, before the latter accompanied Æthelburg of Kent to Northumbria for her marriage to King Edwin of Northumbria.Bede records Justus as having died on 10 November, but does not give a year, although it is likely to have between 627 and 631.
