Bede

The Ecclesiastical History of the English People written in Latin as the Historia ecclesiastica gentis Anglorum by Bede. Believed to be written around 731.

It comprises of 400 pages divided into 5 books which covers the ecclesiastical and political history of England from the time of Julius Caesar to its completion in around AD731.

Many consider Bede the first modern historian because he was careful to separate fact from legend and because he cited his sources.
