This week we return to medieval England for part two of our two parter. We finally get to Hereward, but first let’s talk a little about William the Conqueror and the final years of Edward the Confessor’s reign.

Welcome to Hereward the Wake: Part Two - The Confessor.

Sources this week include:

I promise I’ll get this done in the coming days… A lot of info from these two episodes come from older blog posts I’ve taken down some time back, which I need to work back from… but the main newer sources were

The Norman Conquest by Marc Morris

Femina, A New History of the Middle Ages… by Janina Ramirez

The English and Their History by Robert Tombs

Cameos from English History from Rollo to Edward II by Charlotte M Yonge

And the following two are a bit odd…

A Book of Giants by Henry Lanier (mostly folk tales of mythical giants, but has a chapter on real world giants.)

And Anomalies and Curiosities of Medicine by Walter Pyle (There are a lot of near giant or legit giant men in this tale, so I fact checked their sizes as best I could through these two dusty old books.)
