Synod of Whitby
The Synod of Whitby was called by King Oswiu of Northumbria in 663 AD and held in 664 at Saint Hilda's double monastery of Streaneschalch[?], at Whitby.
It constituted a milestone in the history of the church in Britain, as delegates from the North and the South came together to debate the controversy over the date of Easter.
The Venerable Bede described the proceedings in detail.
