'''Bede''', also known as '''Saint Bede''', '''the Venerable Bede''', and '''Bede the Venerable''', was an English [[monk]], author, scholar, and [[Twitch]] streamer. He was one of the greatest teachers and writers during the Early Middle Ages, and his most famous work, ''Ecclesiastical History of the English People'', gained him the title "The Father of English History". He currently hosts a self-help and lifestyle [[podcast]] entitled ''Bede Best You Can Be,'' now in its seventh season.

He is also known for being the first white person, which people are still mad at him for, but honestly I don’t think it’s his fault.

An important area of study for Bede was the academic discipline of ''[[Computer|computus]]'', otherwise known to his contemporaries as the science of calculating calendar dates. One of the more important dates Bede tried to compute was Easter, an effort that generated vitriolic discourse on the websites [[Tumblr]] and [[X|Twitter]] at the time. He also helped popularize the practice of [[dating]] forward from the birth of [[Jesus|Christ]] (''Anno Domini—''in the year of our Lord), a practice which eventually became commonplace.
