Loading... Ecclesiastical History of the English Peopleby Bede
 Drakhir | Apr 3, 2013 |  This is one I'll probably go back to. I was really enjoying it...I just kept getting distracted by other, faster-paced books. (  ) paperloverevolution | Mar 30, 2013 | Bede's history is essential for the serious student of Anglo Saxon history. His ancient point of view is fascinating, and the book takes you into the day to day workings of the kingdoms of the Anglo Saxons as well as other kingdoms of the era. (  ) LichenCraig | Feb 4, 2012 | Amazing he had access to such a wealth of information ( ) carterchristian1 | Sep 8, 2011 | Bede's History (c. AD 730) provides a fascinating look at how Christianity moved across England during the first millennium. The wars and heresies, miracles and conversions all make for an interesting read which earned its author the title "Father of English History" and a place as one of my heroes.
