Bede
A lifelong monk whose works in theology, history, chronology, poetry and biography have led him to be accepted as the greatest scholar of the early medieval era. Bede is most famous for producing the Historia ecclesiastica (Ecclesiastical History), a source essential for our understanding of the Anglo-Saxons and the Christianisation of Britain.
