Christian monks (missionaries).
Monks and church missionaries traveled into Germanic lands, founded monasteries, preached, converted rulers and their peoples (e.g., Augustine of Canterbury to the Anglo‑Saxons, Irish missionaries like Columbanus, St. Boniface in the German lands). Conversion of kings (Clovis, later Charlemagne’s policy) and the establishment of local churches were the main mechanisms. Arab warriors, Crusaders, and merchants from Constantinople were not the primary agents of Christianization of the Germanic tribes.
