«Credo» is the historical novel by Melvyn Bragg, published by Sceptre in paperback (800 pages, in English).
Set in seventh-century Britain, it follows Bega, a young Irish princess who flees to the island after the murder of her betrothed and devotes her life to spreading Christianity. Her story intertwines with that of Padric, prince of Rheged, in a land of warrior kings, Christians and pagans, and tribes divided by language and culture, illuminating a little-known chapter of British history.
The work originally appeared in 1996; the 2004 Sceptre edition is the second.
For readers of historical fiction set in the British Early Middle Ages and of epic novels with a Christian background.
