Official Religion of the Court Adopted Alongside Traditional Beliefs

The declaration of Christianity as the official religion of the court marked a pivotal shift in the governance and cultural landscape of the region. This change was part of broader efforts to modernize and consolidate the power of the central government. Alongside the adoption of Christianity, traditional beliefs continued to coexist among a significant portion of the populace, reflecting a complex interplay between new religious influences and established cultural practices. The legal framework underwent substantial reform, drawing heavily from British common law, which aimed to create a more structured and uniform legal system. This transition not only influenced religious practices but also had implications for social norms and governance, as laws began to reflect the values and principles of Christianity.
