419 – The Wake at Peterborough

You may have noticed that Hereward the Wake seems to keep disappearing from the story and then reappearing again. This reflects the actual record, where he pops up only to vanish back into the mist just as quickly. His life appears to have been enigmatic. We only know him by these tidbits. But, even those small moments he appears in the record, he manages to stand out. Hereward was a man on the go.
