Hereward "the Wake", the most striking hero of Anglo-Saxon independence, was also called "the last Englishman". But, alas, his heroic fight was in vain and cruel Norman knights, supported by the Roman Church, enslaved all England. But memory of the resistance heroes is everlasting. By the way, Hereward is one of the prototypes of famous Robin Hood.
There is also a legend that he sold out to the normans and married one of williams daughters.
