Yeavering Archive: The Bede Manuscript, book II ch.14

This manuscript page is from Book II, Chapter 14 of the 'History of the English Church and People', which was completed by Bede, a Northumbrian monk and scholar, in 731. The work is our primary historical reference for this period, and Chapter 14 describes the site at Yeavering in particular.

Here we have provided an interactive version of the manuscript which you can translate with your mouse, line-by-line. Alternatively you can see the static English translation or inspect the intricately decorated frontispiece of the manuscript itself.

After viewing the manuscript interactively you can explore Yeavering archive further, or look at some of the reconstructions of the site.
