Bourne People: Hereward.
This group of web pages consists
of transcriptions of documents relating to the story of Hereward, son of
Leofric, of Bourne,
Much the most important set of the
transcriptions presented here is taken at two removes, from the book formerly
held at Peterborough Cathedral, and known by names such as Robert of Swaffham’s Book. The version here was published as parallel
Latin and English text in a supplement in Fenland Notes and Queries, from 1895.
The Latin text was transcribed by S.H. Miller and this was translated by W.D.
Sweeting.
Other links, internal and
external, on this home page are to pages dealing with other sources of
information about the life, works and times of Hereward and about the way in
which his story has been transmitted to us.
