The History of Harroverd

None of our sources mention his involvement in the Northern rebellion. Nor are there any sources mentioning him joining with the ATHLING or GAS PATRICK when they rode in to take command of Durham and Yorkshire's war. 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.
