About the book

Bede's Ecclesiastical History of the English People is one of the most important sources for early medieval English history. Written in the eighth century, it traces the conversion of Anglo-Saxon kingdoms to Christianity while recording rulers, missionaries and political events. Bede's careful use of sources earned him a lasting reputation as one of the earliest major English historians.
