Bede sets out not just to tell the story of the English, but to advance his views on politics and religion. In political terms he is a partisan of his native Northumbria, amplifying its role in English history over and above that of Mercia, its great southern rival. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eEcclesiastical History of the English People\u003c\/em\u003e was originally composed in Latin, and is considered one of the most important original references on Anglo-Saxon history.
