Category talk:English heroic legends

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is intended for Germanic legendary material that is preserved in English sources and for heroic tales developed by the English (or by those of Danish descent in Yorkshire who had become English) such as Havelok the Dane, the Guy of Warwick romance, and the Robin Hood material along with other early ballad material. There is overlap with Category:Norse mythology and a probable Category:German heroic legend to be created. This is intentional.

Normally Arthurian material should not be included, as in origin Arthurian material is British, not English, and was later mostly developed in French. An exception is Arthurian material that contains a significant mention of at least one personage also prominent in native English tradition, for example Hengest or Vortigern.
