The '''Venerable Bede''' (c. 672 - [[May 25]], 735) was a [[monk]] at the Northumbrian [[monastery]] of [[Saint]] Peter at Wearmouth (today part of Sunderland), and of its daughter monastery, Saint Paul's, in modern Jarrow. He is well known as an author and scholar, whose best-known work is ''[[Historia ecclesiastica gentis Anglorum]]'' (''The Ecclesiastical History of the English People''), which gained him the title ''The Father of English History''. St. Bede wrote on many other topics, from music and musical metrics to [[scripture]] commentaries. His [[feast day]] is observed on May 25 , [[May 26|26]], or [[May 27|27]], depending on the sources used by the calendar.
