The History of Harroverd

We don't see him listed as part of the Midlands revolt led by Edrick the Wild and the Prince of Gwyneth. So why? Well, it's possible that he was there, but the scribes weren't aware of it, or didn't think it was important enough to write down. But I think it's far more likely that his absence in the record is due to the fact that he wasn't fighting in Mercia or Northumbria.
