SUMMARY:Hereward the Wake - NB NEW VENUE
DESCRIPTION:PLEASE NOTE THIS FRAG TALK WILL TAKE PLACE AT FLAG FEN ARCHAEOLOGY PARK \nOur usual venue at University Centre Peterborough (UCP) is no longer available \nHereward the Wake \nThis talk gives a brief survey of our authentic sources of information about Hereward and the most recent research on his parentage and the status of his family in pre-Conquest England. This is followed by a narrative account of his life as evidenced by these sources illustrating how\, in common with many heroic narratives\, the surviving stories of his early life combine mythical and semi-magical incidents with authentic historical events. Then follows his banishment from England\, his military career and marriage in Flanders\, his return to England in the aftermath of the Norman Conquest and his resistance to the invaders with the involvement of Morcar\, the Northern rebels and King Swein of Denmark\, culminating with an account of his leadership of the last resistance to King William with the Isle of Ely as his base. The talk ends with a survey of current theories about Hereward’s subsequent survival and the manner of his death\, and a consideration of what we are looking for in our heroes and why public awareness of them can rise and fall over time. \nSpeaker:  Mike Lynch \nMike was born in Manchester and read English Language and Literature at Oxford University. He taught English for several years in schools and colleges and was subsequently called to the Bar at the Middle Temple\, specialising as a consultant in Employment Law. He is married with two grown-up children and for many years lived in Staffordshire where he served as a County Councillor. Now retired\, he lives in the Cambridge area and teaches courses on Dickens\, Jane Austen and George Eliot at the University of the Third Age in Cambridge. He is a member of the Dickens Fellowship and a member of the Royal Society of Literature. He is currently working on a book of limericks. Since he came to live in the Cambridge area Mike has developed an interest in the life and achievements of one local hero\, Hereward the Wake\, and has delivered several lectures on this illustrious figure. \nFREE for FRAG Members \nNon-members welcome – £5 cash\, payable on the night\n(card payment not currently possible) \nThe Venue for FRAG Talks has changed for Autumn 2026: \nFlag Fen Archaeology Park\nThe Droveway\nNorthey Road\nPeterborough PE6 7QJ \nThere is on-site parking available. \nThe talk will take place in the visitor centre.
