Bede (c. 672 or 673 - May 25, 735), was a Benedictine monk at the
Northumbrian monastery of Saint Peter at Monkwearmouth, today part
of Sunderland, and of its companion monastery, Saint Paul's, in
modern Jarrow (see Wearmouth-Jarrow), both in the English county of
Durham (now Tyne and Wear). He is well known as an author and
scholar, and his most famous work, Historia ecclesiastica gentis
Anglorum (The Ecclesiastical History of the English People) gained
him the title "The father of English history".
J.F. Webb is a priest of the Roman diocese of Wrexham, North
Wales.
D.H. Farmer was Reader in History at Reading University until 1988.
He is author and editor of several books on ecclesiastical and
monastic history such as The Oxford Dictionary of Saints.
