Sold by Mighty Ape
Written in AD 731, Bede’s “Ecclesiastical History of the English People” is the first account of Anglo-Saxon England ever written, and remains our single most valuable source for this period. It begins with Julius Caesar’s invasion in the 1st century BC and goes on to tell of the kings and bishops, monks and nuns who helped to develop government and convert the people to Christianity during these crucial formative years. Relating the deeds of great men and women but also describing landscape, customs and ordinary lives, this is a rich source. This revised edition includes a new introduction, Bede’s letter to Egbert, the account of Bede’s death and new notes.
