SEASON 5: The Norman Conquest of England

EPISODE 92: The Siege of Ely

Today, we witness the final chapter in the legend of Hereward the Exile. From the swamps of Ely, the outlaw makes his last desperate stand against Norman rule. And in return? William responds with cold, calculating fury—the kind only a conqueror can deliver. The age of resistance is dying, but it’s going out swinging.
