Burn the Witch!: Played with. It's accurately pointed out that the eleventh century Church didn't recognise maleficent magic as possible, but the suspicion of witchcraft against Kolfrosta, Torfrida, and Gunnhild is a serious matter nonetheless. | |

Politically Incorrect Villain: Ivo. His misogyny and snobbery are consistent throughout the books, and in the third he comes out with "Do you know why I allowed those Jews to sully my hall with their unclean presence?" (Mind you, there's anti-Semitism on the good guys' team as well, until the revelation that Girolamo is Jewish shuts everyone up. This is, of course, accurate for the time period.) | |

Badass Boast: Pretty much paraphrased from Charles Kingsley's Hereward novel, with a nod back to the Norse sagas: "Behold the Lord of Bourne! I am Hereward! Hereward the outlaw, the champion, the berserker and the viking! I am the fattener of ravens, the darling of wolves and the curse of the widow! I am the land-thief and the sea-thief, slayer of bears and giants, ravager of the world!" Edric: "I am Herne, I am Arthur, I am Woden. I am the Lord of the Wildwood..." Ulric: "Come on then, you bastards! Come on, and I'll teach you how to die!" | |

Aristocrats Are Evil: most of them. Unsurprising, since the largely Norman aristocracy installed after the Conquest were the natural enemies of an Anglo-Saxon rebel. With the exception of Starkad and Gunnhild, all the main antagonists are of knightly class or above. | |

Aerith and Bob | |
| The Hereward Trilogy / int_b9d334b2 | comment |
Aerith and Bob: The setting pretty much dictates this one. Norman cultural dominance over the centuries after the Conquest means that many Norman names became and remained commonplace while most Anglo-Saxon ones all but disappeared. There aren't many Herewards around now, but his enemies include multiple Williams and Roberts (history doesn't respect the One-Steve Limit). | |

Roaring Rampage of Revenge: Hereward's reaction to Toli's death in Book 1; the chasing down of Edwin's murderers in Book 3 (though the latter kind of fizzles out). | |

Rightful King Returns | |
| The Hereward Trilogy / int_e061cb06 | comment |
Rightful King Returns: Played with. Lots of people consider themselves the rightful King, and attempt to take "back" the Crown; and Hereward allies with pretty much all of them at different times, since his main concern is getting rid of William. | |

Big Damn Heroes: Lots and lots of rescues. The attack on Spalding Keep (Book 1); the Danes rescuing Christian and Zainab (Book 2); the rescue of Mariana (Book 2); and of Simeon (book 3), just for starters. | |

One-Steve Limit | |
| The Hereward Trilogy / int_ee7a60e9 | comment |
One-Steve Limit: The Normans weren't very imaginative when it comes to naming conventions, and there are a lot of Williams and Roberts around; but the author tries to stick to this where possible, for instance using the different forms Turaud and Thorold for two of Hereward's enemies who ought by rights to have the same name. | |
