venerable bede
patrick wormald has claimed that england was a nation by the time of the venerable bede, who wrote the "historia ecclesiastica gentis anglorum" ("ecclesiastical history of the english people") around 730. wormald attributes bede with a decisive "role in defining english national identity and english national destiny". bede uses the label "english" to describe the germanic peoples who inhabited britain: angles, saxons and jutes, and excluding britons, scots and picts. in the final paragraph to the preface of the "ecclesiastical history of the english people" bede departs from the usual word ""gens"" and instead uses the word ""natio"" to describe the ""historia nostrae nationis"": the history of our own nation. this is the first verbal appearance of the english nation.
