Cædmon
The discussion of Caedmon as a 'patriarchal' figure is, at best, a fringe perspective in literary criticism, based on absolutely no evidence whatsoever. It deserves no place on the opening page of this figure's life. It is putting what is essentially an unsubstantiated political statement on the same level as historical record. On a political note, Caedmon is an important figure in the identity of the North East of England - a largely economically and culturally repressed area.
