Answer:

a. Venerable Bede

Explanation:

The Venerable Bede was a Benedictine monk at the Northumbrian monastery of Saint Peter who spent his life as an author, and a scholar, and is also known as the Father of English History due to his work called "An Ecclesiastical History of the English People", where he narrates the story of Caesar's invasion (55 Bc), the story of Christian churches in England and conflicts in Christianity, such as the Pre-schism Roman Rite. His book is a key element of the story of England, therefor, Venerable Bede or Saint Bede, is the Father of English History.
