Cędmon


 

Cędmon was an Anglo-Saxon herdsman, poet and monk attached to Streonęshalch (Whitby Abbey) during Hild?s abbacy (657 × 681). He is one of twelve Anglo-Saxon poets identified in medieval sources, and one of only three for whom we have both roughly contemporary biographical information about his life and surviving examples of his work.{{ref|caedmonref-010}}.
