What is the earliest recording in English history?

Question

I mean of today's Englishmen? When exactly as England founded as it is today? I would prefer non-ambigious answers but if you can't help anything would be much apreciated!

Answer 1

Recording of what?

England wasn't 'founded' as it is today - it evolved into what it is today and year by year it continues to change.

Answer 3

I'm not sure exactly what you're after but one of the earliest chroniclers of England (post Roman) would be the English monk The Venerable Bede, 672-735 AD, who wrote "Historia ecclesiastica gentis Anglorum" (The Ecclesiastical History of the English People), which earned him the title "the father of English history".

His work covers the history of England at religious and poltical level from the time of Caesar to it's completion in 731.
