Hereward the Wake: The Confessor

24 minutes

This week we go back to medieval, Anglo Saxon England for a two parter. I’ve got a Tale to tell of an outlaw, a resourceful Wolf’s-head who leads a guerrilla war against a cruel, unjust King - a man some might say robbed from the rich to give to…. Well, we’ll get to that - but before we do we have a Confessor, a Bastard… and a slew of other characters to deal with first.

Welcome to Hereward the Wake - Part one: where today we’ll delve into the Wessexes.

Sources this week include:

I promise I’ll fill this in tomorrow morning… The episode is already a day late, and it is a bit of a list. Sorry.
