The Last Englishman

By Hebe Weenolsen

1069, the English are left seething under the yoke of foreign rule. All hope seems lost – until Hereward Leofricsson returns to reclaim his birthright. His fierce resolve, military cunning and gallant manner soon attract a dogged band of fighters, who are determined to recover their country or die in the attempt. But Hereward finds himself torn between his bitter hatred of the Norman conquerors and his love for Althya, a Norman noblewoman. A love which earns him a dangerous enemy in the form of the sadistic Guy de Lussac, who is determined to marry Althya to settle an old score with her father.
