This Acrylic painting of Herleva won an award ( I am still amazed!)
Herleva of Falaise... one fateful night in 1027, when an embalmer's daughter found herself having a strange dream that began with an enormous tree bursting out of her belly, and ended as the tree quickly overshadowed the surrounding Normandy before throwing its darkness across the water, and on to England.
The fact that this young girl had, it's believed, conceived that very night the child who would be known as William The Conqueror..
