SEASON 5: The Norman Conquest of England

EPISODE 90: Hereward the Exile

We begin the legend of Hereward the Wake—a rebellious spark left smoldering in the ashes of William’s brutal conquest. Outlawed, underestimated, and driven by fury, Hereward becomes something else entirely: a folk hero. This is the story of resistance born from ruin.

NOTE: Please forgive my voice. It’ll heal and get back to normal in time, but I’ve been struggling with a bout of the 'rona recently, hence the delay in recording and publishing episodes. My apologies. Thanks for sticking around. You all are incredibly appreciated. Take care. Stay healthy, friends.
