Spoilers for War of The Rohirrim below:
No one sang songs or told stories about Hera.
Her brothers were the one who died in war, her father died frozen standing alone against Wulf's men, her cousin Frealaf would then rescue everyone and ascend the throne.
The people saw Frealaf as the one who 'saved' them, the one who brought an army and defeated Wulf's army.
That then would lead to Frealaf being the one to take the throne and wear the crown of Rohan - the one who the people would now see and would be led by until his death.
Hera would then leave alongside Olwyn for Gandalf's invitation, with the instrument that helped created the songs with the only two people who knew what actually happened on the field meant Hera would leave the history books and people's stories.
Frealaf wouldn't sing of Hera because he doesn't know what happened, Rohan's people were too busy rebuilding a kingdom, the entire royal bloodline almost dead, Wulf was killed, Olwyn left with Hera...
No one sang songs or told stories about Hera.
