Shropshire (Old English: Sciropescire) is a county in the West Midlands of England, bordering the state of Wales to the west. Due to its close proximity to the Welsh border, control over the county was often wrestled between the Britonnic kingdoms and the Anglo-Saxons during the Medieval period.
History[edit | edit source]
In the late 9th century, Shropshire was contested between the Kingdom of Gwynedd, led by King Rhodri the Great, and the Kingdom of Mercia. By the time Mercia came under the influence of the Viking-backed King Ceolwulf, the last ealdorman of the shire had been killed in battle with the Britons, and Bishop Deorlaf was chosen as a temporary stand-in. To improve the shire's situation, Ceolbert sent his son Ceolbert, aided by Ivarr the Boneless, who had a bitter history with Rhodri, to negotiate peace with the Britons.[1]
Following the deaths of Ceolbert, Ivarr, and Rhodri and the assault on Caustow Castle, Deorlaf was appointed the next ealdorman of the shire.[2]
