Completed in 731 AD, it documented England's Christianization and set a standard for historical writing. His use of the Anno Domini dating system was a major innovation.Beyond history, Bede explored timekeeping, poetry, and education, with The Reckoning of Time showcasing his analytical skills. He died on May 26, 735 AD, and was later venerated as a saint. His legacy as "The Father of English History" continues to influence scholars today.
