Credo (novel)

Credo is a novel written by Melvyn Bragg and published in 1996. Credo talks about the Christian faith set in 7th-century Britain and the story of a young Celtic Princess torn between her dedication to God's service and her love for Padric, a Prince of Rheged. Set against the background of venerated Church figures of the period, notably St Cuthbert, St Wilfrid and Hilda of Whitby , Bega (i.e. St Bee) experiences all the violence and deprivations of her age.
