But that is testing Chapter III: The Conversion of England.
...The conversion of England was thus effected by the landing of St
Augustine in Thanet and other places, which resulted in the country being
overrun by a Wave of Saints. Among these were St Ive, St Pancra, the great
St Bernard (originator of the clerical collar), St Bee, St Ebb, St Neot (who
invented whisky), St Kit and St Kin, and the Venomous Bead (author of 'The
Rosary')...

Sorry, should have said 'A relevant passage ...'. Test Paper 1 is 'Up to
the end of 1066', and also includes the question 'Which came first, A.D. or
B.C.? (Be careful).
