Hereward The Last of the English

Hereward is a historical novel written by Charles Kingsley. The novel follows the life of Hereward from his early years as a rebellious youth to his rise as a leader of the resistance against the Normans. Along the way, he forms close bonds with other rebels and outcasts, including his loyal follower, Martin Lightfoot, and the powerful Danish king, Sweyn Estrithson. Through vividly drawn battle scenes and descriptions of medieval life, "Hereward" offers a rich and detailed portrayal of the political and social upheaval of the time. The novel also explores themes of loyalty, identity, and the struggle for justice in the face of oppression. Kingsley's "Hereward" is notable for its blend of historical fact and fictionalized elements. While the novel is based on the life of a real historical figure, Kingsley also takes liberties with the story, adding his own imaginative flourishes and details to create a compelling narrative.
