King Alfred's ( Alfred the Great ) translation of Orosius ' history of the world uses Angelcynn (- kin ) to describe England and the English people ; Bede used Angelfolc (- folk ); there are also such forms as Engel, Englan ( the people ), Englaland, and Englisc, all showing i-mutation.

In 1899, Bede was made a Doctor of the Church by Leo XIII, a position of theological significance ; he is the only native of Great Britain to achieve this designation ( Anselm of Canterbury, also a Doctor of the Church, was originally from Italy ).

The Liber Vitae of Durham Cathedral includes a list of priests ; two are named Bede, and one of these is presumably Bede himself.

Some manuscripts of the Life of Cuthbert, one of Bede's own works, mention that Cuthbert's own priest was named Bede ; it is possible that this priest is the other name listed in the Liber Vitae.

The name probably derives from the Old English bēd, or prayer ; if Bede was given the name at his birth, then his family had probably always planned for him to enter the clergy.

The dedication stone for the church has survived to the present day ; it is dated 23 April 685, and as Bede would have been required to assist with menial tasks in his day-to-day life it is possible that he helped in building the original church.

There might have been minor orders ranking below a deacon ; but there is no record of whether Bede held any of these offices.

In about 701 Bede wrote his first works, the De Arte Metrica and De Schematibus et Tropis ; both were intended for use in the classroom.

A 6th-century Greek and Latin manuscript of Acts that is believed to have been used by Bede survives and is now in the Bodleian Library ; it is known as the Codex Laudianus.

Bede was a teacher as well as a writer ; he enjoyed music, and was said to be accomplished as a singer and as a reciter of poetry in the vernacular.

The standard theological view of world history at the time was known as the six ages of the world ; in his book, Bede calculated the age of the world for himself, rather than accepting the authority of Isidore of Seville, and came to the conclusion that Christ had been born 3, 952 years after the creation of the world, rather than the figure of over 5, 000 years that was commonly accepted by theologians.

The preface makes it clear that Ceolwulf had requested the earlier copy, and Bede had asked for Ceolwulf's approval ; this correspondence with the king indicates that Bede's monastery had excellent connections among the Northumbrian nobility.

Bede acknowledged his correspondents in the preface to the Historia Ecclesiastica ; he was in contact with Daniel, the Bishop of Winchester, for information about the history of the church in Wessex, and also wrote to the monastery at Lastingham for information about Cedd and Chad.

At the end of the work, Bede added a brief autobiographical note ; this was an idea taken from Gregory of Tours ' earlier History of the Franks.

These records are in direct conflict with Bede, who states that the Isle of Wight was settled by Jutes, not Saxons ; the archaeological record is somewhat in favour of Bede on this.

It also is possible that Bede had the date of Æthelberht ’ s death wrong ; if, in fact, Æthelberht died in 618, this would be consistent with his baptism in 597, which is in accord with the tradition that Augustine converted the king within a year of his arrival.

Among his sources, Paul used the document called the Origo gentis Langobardorum, the Liber pontificalis, the lost history of Secundus of Trent, and the lost annals of Benevento ; he made a free use of Bede, Gregory of Tours and Isidore of Seville.

It was completed in about 731, and Bede implies that he was then in his fifty-ninth year, which would give a likely birth date of about 672 – 673.

The Venerable Bede ( 673 – 735 ) wrote his Historia ecclesiastica gentis Anglorum ( Ecclesiastical History of the English People, completed in 731 ) in Monkwearmouth-Jarrow, and much of it focuses on the kingdom.

Bede gives the death of Cenwalh as the start of the ten-year period in which the West Saxons were ruled by these underkings ; Cenwalh is now thought to have died in about 673, so this is slightly inconsistent with Cædwalla's dates.
