The major exceptions in poetry are some authors like Saint Bede (673-735) Bede was a monk of the twin monasteries of Wearmouth and Jarrow in north-eastern England. He was famous in his lifetime as one of the most brilliant writers of Europe. Bede was moreover a skilled linguist and translator, and his work made the Latin and Greek writings of the early Church Fathers much more accessible to his fellow Anglo-Saxons, which contributed significantly to English Christianity.

Another major medieval writers in that era was King Alfred (848-899) was King of the West Saxons, and conquerer of the Vikings. He also brought scholars and writers to his court in Winchester, which became the center of a renaissance in English letters. Alfred is thought to have translated the first fifty Psalms as well as three prose works (one of which, Boethius' The Consolation of Philosophy, also contains poems). He or his circle translated Bede's Historia, including Caedmon's Hymn.

He learned Latin himself and began to translate Latin books into English in 887. https://padlet.com/yulenismontezuma/a4y6j8aepaldpxa/wish/2291218563 2022-09-11 15:36:25 UTC https://padlet.com/yulenismontezuma/a4y6j8aepaldpxa/wish/2291218563
