The British are a mixed people made up of tribes and invasions, and each new incursion brought more legends, deeds and heroes to be woven into the fascinating tapestry of British history: Beowulf epitomises the Danes; Howard the Halt represents the Vikings; the Normans introduced Roland and an appreciation of revolt against tyranny, as seen in Hereward the Wake and Robin Hood. Some heroes can be named and dated, yet others have the element of the myth about them. The tales herein are dated from the eighth century and include: Beowulf; The Dream of Maxen Wledig; Constantine and Elene; The Compassion of Constantine: Havelok the Dane; Roland, the Hero of Early France; The Countess Cathleen; Cuchulain; The Take of Gamelyn; William of Cloudeslee; Black Colin of Loch Awe; The Marriage of Sir Gawayne; King Horn; Robin Hood; Hereward the Wake.
