‘Out of field, out of fen, out of forest we rose

putting fear behind us. Foe fled before us:

hard-handed death-dealers, wolf-howling warriors,

fierce in fealty; our swords glittered in the sunlight . . . .’

  1. Edward the Confessor is dead, England is at peace and Hereward, son of Eorl Leofric, returns from exile to his ancestral lands. But peace is short-lived and when Norman invaders murder his foster-brother, Hereward turns from thegn to outlaw. As the Normans tighten their grip and uprisings fail, rebels flock to join his band at Ely, the Isle of Refuge. Soon the whole Norman army is on its way, to destroy Hereward and, with him, the last centre of English resistance.

By giving this most enigmatic of English heroes his own voice, S. Pitt has created an intimate portrait of a man prepared to lose everything rather than submit to tyranny.
