(673-735;
The Venerable Bede is considered the father o f English history, 
as he was the author of the most important history of early England. 
During his lifetime he was the most learned scholar in all of Western 
Europe. He was bom in the Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Northumbria 
in 673. He was orphaned when he was only seven and his relatives 
put him under the supervision of monks, at W'earmouth Abbey.


Two years later, in 682, he was sent to the newly built abbey of 
Jarrow, where he was to spend the rest o f his life.
From boyhood Bede studied in the library of Jarrow. Then in 
703, the year o f the ordination to the priesthood, Bede began to 
write. During 28 years he completed forty books: commentaries 
on the Bible; lives o f abbots, martyrs, and saints; books on 
philosophy and poetry.
Bede’s masterpiece, completed in 731, when he was 51 years 
old, is his “The Ecclesiastical History of the English Race”, which 
describes the growth of the Christian church in England from the 
attack of Julius Caesar in 55 BC to Bede’s own days. Although 
Bede was Anglo-Saxon, he wrote the work in Latin, the language 
he spoke and wrote. Late in the ninth century, scholars at the 
court of King Alfred translated it into Anglo-Saxon. “The 
Ecclesiastical History of the English Race” seemed to them one 
of the central works of their culture, worthy of reproduction into a 
language more people could read.
A lfred the G reat 
(849 - 901)
The beginning o f the 9th century was a troubled time for 
England. Danish pirates, called Northmen kept coming from 
overseas for plunder. Each year their number increased. When 
Alfred was made king iri 871, England’s danger was the greatest. 
Nevertheless, in a great battle fought by Alfred at Maldon in 891, 
tiie Northmen were defeated, and Alfred decided to make peace 
with them. The greater portion of England was given up to the 
newcomers. The only part o f the kingdom left in possession of 
Alfred was Wessex.
Alfred was a Latin scholar. He is famous not only for having 
built the first navy, but for trying to enlighten his people. He drew 
up a code of laws and translated the Church-history of Bede from 
Latin into Anglo-Saxon, the native language o f his people, and a
