Returning to England in 1476, Caxton printed (before 13 December) a broadside indulgence at his new shop in Westminster, the earliest dated piece of English printing. The earliest dated book printed in England is the Dicts and Sayings of the Philosophers , printed by Caxton at Westminster in 1477.

The Anglo-Saxon Period
Bede
Known as the "Venerable" Bede, he was born near Monkwearmouth, Durham, England. At age seven, Bede was placed in the monastery of Wearmouth under the care of Benedict Biscop. Two years later, he moved to the monastery of Jarrow on Durham, where he was ordained priest at age 30, in 703, and remained a monk for the rest of his life. Although, most of his time was spent studying and teaching, his devotion to the church became ideal. During this time, Bede wrote homilies, biographies , of saints and abbots, hymns, epigrams , works on chronology, grammar and physical science. Other works more closely related to the church included commentaries on the Old and New Testaments, and the translation of the Gospel of St. John into Anglo-Saxon. His most classic work was his Latin Historia Ecclesiastica Gentis Anglorum (Ecclesiastical History of the English People). During the reign of King Alfred the Great, the manuscript was translated into Old English and helped people take pride in their past. This single, precious source for early English history was finished in 731. The "Venerable" Bed died in 735 and was canonized in 1899 on feast day, May 25.

SIR THOMAS MALORY
Le Morte Darthur es indudablemente la interpretación definitiva pasada del mito
de Arthurian antes del amanecer del renacimiento inglés. Con todo la identidad de su autor, sir Thomas Malory, el preso del caballero, restos tan evasivo y tan misterioso como los caballeros que habitan su libro. ¿Cómo se puede el extoller knightly del honor, del amor cortés y del deber chivalric sí mismo acusar de robo, de la extorsión, del asesinato procurado y de la violación los actos criminales que el belie esos sentimientos nobles expresó a través de las páginas del Morte? ¿La pregunta se presenta tan quién es el sir histórico Thomas Malory y cómo puede nosotros explicar la discrepancia masiva entre el hombre y el suyo trabajo?
Sir Thomas Malory de Newbold Revel en Warwickshire "nació en una familia gentry que había vivido por siglos en los Midlands ingleses cerca del punto donde reunión de Warwickshire, de Leicestershire, y de Northamptonshire. Su padre, Juan Malory, era un esquire con la tierra en los tres condados, pero era sobre todo un hombre de Warwickshire, siendo dos veces el sheriff, cinco veces M.P. y por muchos años una justicia de la paz para ese condado. Juan casó Philippa Chetwynd... y tenían por lo menos tres hijas, y un hijo, Thomas, que nació probablemente dentro de un año cualquier manera de el 1416"(campo 115).

    Le Morte D'Arthur Syr Thomas Malore Le Morte D'Arthur flourished c. 1470 English writer whose identity remains uncertain but whose name is famous as that of the author of Le Morte Darthur (q.v.), the first prose account in English of the rise and fall of King Arthur and the fellowship of the RoundTable. Even in the 16th century Malory's identity was unknown, although there was a tradition that he was a Welshman. In the colophon to Le Morte Darthur the author, calling himself “Syr Thomas Malore knyght,” says that he finished the workin the ninth year of the reign of Edward IV (i.e., March 4, 1469–March 3, 1470) and adds a prayer for “good delyueraunce” from prison. The only known knight at this time with a name like Maleore was Thomas Malory of Newbold Revell in the parish of Monks Kirby, Warwickshire. This Malory, like the author, was imprisoned, but it was on various occasions during the period from 1450 to 1460, rather than about 1470. A “Thomas Malorie (or Malarie), knight” was excluded from four general pardons granted by Edward IV to the Lancastrians in 1468 and 1470. This person is tentatively accepted as the author.

    • An ancient town in Somerset. It is fabled to be the place where Joseph of Arimathea brought the Christian faith to Britain, and the Holy Grail, in the year 63 AD. It is also here that King Henry II, who claimed descent from Arthur, identified a tomb, in which a cross inscribed “Here lies buried the renowned King Arthur in the Isle of Avalon” was found, as that of Arthur. He supposedly lived about 470 AD. He was a Welsh bard who entered the service of Arthur during the Saxon invasion. He went mad after watching a horrible battle near Solway. Thereafter he lived in caves, singing to himself. He was known as a poet and a prophet as well as a magician. He is said to have been the son of a fierce demon and a Welsh princess. Merlin, the magician, created it. According to legend, it was made of marble, but it could be folded magically and carried in a coat pocket. It was round so that no one could argue over the order in which Arthur’s knights should be seated. It seated 150 knights, and one extra place was left in it for the Sangrail, the founder of the Holy Grail.

According to Caxton, "Le Morte Darthur" was written while Malory was in prison. It is known that a rebel, Sir Thomas Malory of Newbold Revel in Warwickshire, was confined at London's Newgate prison after his disputes with the local priory, related to Lancastrian-Yorkist politics. Indeed, early in the text of "Le Morte Darthur", the author refers to himself as a knight-prisoner. He also mentions that he loves chivalry, hunting, tournaments, and had read an extensive collection of Arthurian romances. Of Le Morte d'Arthur, edited by Claxton, only one complete copy is left.

    http://online.northumbria.ac.uk/faculties/art/humanities/cns/m-arthurian.html
    Myers Literary Guide Centre for Northern Studies ARTHURIAN LEGEND The existence of an historical King Arthur, as opposed to the glorious fiction of Camelot is very problematic. He was a folk hero as early as the 9th century, but the (unreliable) historical sources are vague and confusing. Northern battle sites are certainly mentioned, including High Rochester in Northumberland (the Roman fort Bremenium) and another long-standing tradition located Mons Badonicus, Arthur's great victory over the invading Saxons, at Binchester. One chronicle refers to the fight at Camlann, supposedly in AD 537, where 'Arthur and Medraut were killed'. Opinion concerning the whereabouts of Camlann favours Camboglanna, close to the Roman fort at Birdoswald on the Wall. The Camlann battle became a byword for a tragic, irretrievable disaster, as Michael Wood puts it in his book In Search of the Dark Ages . We also know that 'Medraut' became the traitor figure Mordred in the later Arthurian legends. Could a struggle between chieftains on the edge of Northumberland have given rise to one of the greatest figures in world literature? Rachel Bromwich argues that Arthur was one of the Men of the North, a tradition of heroic figures of northern British history later relocalised in Wales or the South. These include such warriors as Urien of Rheged, whose son Owain was later to become the hero of French 12th century romance in Chretien de Troyes'
