This is an original work by the Eighth Century English monk and scholar Bede. Written well over a thousand years ago to chronicle the history of the Anglo-Saxons, Bede’s work remains one of the most important chronicles of the Early Medieval Period.

The words of this video come directly from Bede himself, translated in 1910 by British academic Lionel C. Jane.
