The video discusses the transition of the Saxons from paganism to Christianity. Initially, the Saxons worshipped multiple gods, but this changed due to the influence of Pope Gregory. He encountered Anglo Saxon slave children and, upon learning they were pagan, sent missionaries led by Augustine to England to convert the Saxons. This mission was documented by a monk named Bede.
