| | Hereward the Wake |
 | | Hereward wanted himself and his men to be knighted in this way because he heard that it had been ruled by the French that if anyone were knighted by a monk, cleric or any ordained minister, it ought not to be reckoned the equal of true knighthood, but invalid and anachronistic. | | | Nevertheless, Hereward would not allow any of his men to assist him, saying then as always when anyone was fighting with one of his men or with himself, that it was shameful for two to fight against one, and that a man ought to fight alone or else surrender. | | | After some respite from serious pursuit in the aforesaid mere, Hereward was more severely besieged by those in the region and by the king's men, and so hard-pressed that in despair he slew with his own hands his splendid horse, so that no lesser man should boast that he had got Hereward's horse. |

| | hereward and the Barony of Bourne |
| | Finally, a fifteenth-century genealogy of the Wake family and account of the descent of their barony of Bourne again makes him lord of the estate and notices its descent through the marriage of Hereward's daughter to Hugh de Evermue, but asserts that the rebel was the son of Earl Leofric of Mercia and Lady Godiva. | | | In the mid twelfth-century work known as the De Gestis Herewardi Saxonis Hereward is said to have been the son of Leofric, kinsmen of Earl Ralph Scalre (that is, staller), and Ediva great-great-granddaughter of Earl Oslac of Northumberland, and to have married Turfrida, a Flemish woman of noble birth. | | | Hereward is credited with a second wife, the widow of Earl Dolfin according to the De Gestis, |

| | The folklore of primitive races is a great storehouse whence a people can choose tales and heroic deeds to glorify its own national hero, careless that the same tales and deeds have done duty for other peoples and other heroes. | | | As they passed Hereward sprang from his shelter, crying, “Upon them, Danes, and set your brethren free!” and himself struck down Haco and smote off his head. | | | The whole was carried out exactly as Hereward arranged it. |

| | Hereward the Wake |
| | Young considers Hereward the Wake to be a work of “secular scripture”. | | | She admires its absolutely natural dialogue, its splendidly real characterization; its historical accuracy that is as correct as is reasonably possible; its fine drama, its succinctness of writing; its beauty. | | | However, Uffelman shows that Kingsley as he made revisions for publishing the novel in book form toned down some of his more venomous passages “tempering his story to fit a different medium and to appeal to the taste of a more liberal publisher," Macmillan (155). |

| | The third time, while William was encamped at Brandon, Hereward rode there on his horse, a noble beast called Swallow, on the way meeting a potter, who agreed to exchange clothes with him and lend him his wares. | | | Then St Peter sent a wolf (St Peter animal) to show them the way, and as darkness fell, lighted candles appeared on every tree and on every man's shield, burning steadily no matter how the wind blew. | | | This was a token of the apostle's gratitude for Hereward sparing the abbot and returning part of the treasure to the saint's own abbey of Peterborough. |

| | Probably, the most famous knot used in English heraldry is what is referred to today as the carrick bend. | | | Of course, as has been mentioned, a single strand, single line, four bight Turk's-Head is a carrick bend which is and was used as a heraldry badge by the Wake family as early as 1066 AD The same knot also makes beautiful frogs and in multi-lead versions, buttons. | | | It was used as an heraldic badge by Hereward Wake, the Saxon leader who refused to submit to William the Conqueror in 1066 AD The knot, therefore, is sometimes also referred to as the Wake knot. |
