Hereward was a wizard who mastered the Elder Wand after killing his own father to acquire it.[2] He succeeded at this by locking him in his own cellar to die, after stealing his wand.[3]
Etymology[]
The name "Hereward" is derived from the Old English elements here "army" and weard "guard", from which the magial kind of "ward" (as a protection) is also derived. This was the name of an 11th-century Anglo-Saxon leader who rebelled against Norman rule.
