Bede was so important due to his religious,scientific and historic writings. Without whom we would be oblivious to the history before the 7th century. As well as being a monk, he was a teacher and a scholar. His efforts to gather information from the 300-400 books in the Jarrow/Wearmouth monestry, and make sense of evidence reveals to us in latin the life of previous times. Now translated into old English the 'Ecclesiatical History of the Englsih People' is one of the key references of the time.
