Wilfrid was pivotal in bringing the Celtic Church under the authority of Rome. Actor Robert Duncan tells the story of Wilfrid, a man of immense learning, energy and ability. His studies in Rome convinced him that the Roman way of organizing the church was the right one, so he established bishoprics in the continental style, adorning his new stone churches with gold, filling them with relics and the latest music — Gregorian chant.

Although personally charming with a magnetic personality, he was often unpopular with rulers who considered him a threat, and was imprisoned or exiled on several occasions. But he always turned problems to advantage, converting more pagans, influencing more kings and building more monasteries.
