He is widely credited as the man who introduced Christianity to the kingdom of East Anglia. What little that is known about Felix originates from The Ecclesiastical History of the English People, completed by Bede in about 731, and the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle. Felix, who originated from the Frankish kingdom of Burgundy, traveled from his homeland to Canterbury before being sent by Honorius to Sigebert of East Anglia's kingdom in about 630, (by sea to Babingley in Norfolk, according to local legend). On arrival in East Anglia, Sigebert gave him a see at Dommoc (possibly Walton, Suffolk or Dunwich in Suffolk). According to Bede, Felix helped Sigebert to establish a school. He died on 8 March 647 or 648, having been bishop for seventeen years. His relics were translated from Dommoc to Soham Abbey and then to the abbey at Ramsey. After his death, Felix was venerated as a saint: several English churches are dedicated to him. Felix's feast date is 8 March."@en . . . . . . "Apparently natural causes"@en .
