Final answer:

Christianity arrived in Anglo-Saxon kingdoms in the late 6th and early 7th century through the efforts of Christian missionaries and the influence of political relationships.

Step-by-step explanation:

Christianity arrived to Anglo-Saxon kingdoms in the late 6th and early 7th century.

In 635 C.E., Christian monks from the Scottish island of Iona built a priory in Lindisfarne, which played a crucial role in spreading Christianity in the region. However, the arrival of Viking invasions in 793 disrupted the spread of Christianity temporarily, but the Gospels were safely transported to Durham.

The conversion of the Anglo-Saxons to Christianity was influenced by the efforts of Christian missionaries and the desire for better political relationships with Christians. This led to the gradual establishment of Christian churches and monasteries across the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms.
