Most of the British Church accepted the Dionysian tables after the Synod of Whitby in 664, which agreed that the old British method (the "insular latercus") should be dropped in favour of the Roman one. Quite a few individual churches and monasteries refused to accept them, the last holdout finally accepting them during the early 10th century. After the first Frankish adaptation of Bede's "The Reckoning of Time" was published (by 771), the Church of the Franks (France) accepted them during the late 8th century under the tutelage of Alcuin, after he arrived from Britain.
