The Ecclesiastical History of the English People, by Bede

Sigh. I didn't really do well in this. Skimmed it, looked at the maps, read the intro and many of the notes. But the actual text reminded me too much of Medieval History class and reading piles of primary source material till my head hurt. I wonder if one of those assignments was Bede and I've blocked it. Anyway, I only really READ up to about A.D. 750. The Angles, Jutes and Saxons had just been forcibly ejected from Britain, those horrible folks...

So now I can at least say I've read Bede.
