Easter controversy
The Easter controversy was a long dispute in the early medieval Church over how to calculate the date of Easter. In Britain and Ireland the native churches kept an older reckoning, while Roman missionaries and their supporters pressed for the system used at Rome. Northumbria adopted the Roman practice at the Synod of Whitby in 664, and the Welsh churches followed only in 768.
