He influenced all of Europe through his student Archbishop Egbert, who in turn taught Alcuin and thus brought this man's ideas to the Carolingian Renaissance. Those ideas included the AD system of dating, which this man invented in his work On the Reckoning of Time. Working for thirty years at St. Paul's Monastery at Jarrow, his hagiographies include On the Lives of Abbots and a credulous account of the miracles of St. Cuthbert. Another of his works starts with the raids of Julius Caesar and continues for six centuries until the landing of Augustine of Canterbury.
