Famed through folklore, immortalised through myth, Hereward the Wake has been depicted as an all action-hero of Anglo-Saxon descent (but he could have been half Danish!)

His adventures and escapades were recorded in prose and verse within just 40 years of his death, which was unusual.  But just WHO was he? Max Keen (pictured) sorts the myth from fact; the legend from reality. All in costume from the 11th Century of course!
