It explores how, and how far, the cult extended in Britain, France and Germany. As well as crossing geographical boundaries, Alban’s relics were also shared among different cultures: British, Anglo-Saxon and Merovingian. The essay argues that this resulted in differing appreciations, interpretations and applications of Alban’s cult, and that the Gallic contribution to the cult’s survival was particularly important.
