Recall the Essential Question for this unit: Where does history end and legend begin? The Ecclesiastical History of the English People is a nonfiction text, but the line between historical fact and legend was not as important when Bede was writing as it is today. In what ways does Bede's account seem more legendary than fact based? Consider the details Bede includes and what you know about how political and religious conflicts were solved during the time period. Highlight evidence in the text to support your response.
