Bede

The Venerable, was bom in 670 a.d., and was the greatest scholar, theologian, and historian of ancient times. He went to the Benedictine Abbey at Monk wear mouth when he was an orphan of seven years old, but ultimately went to the Monastery at Jarrow, where he died. He translated St. John’s gospel into Anglo-Saxon, and died just after finishing the last sentence. His most valuable book is the nistoria Ecclesiastic a Ocntis Anglorum.
