Duke Eldol of Gloucester was one of the true heroes of Britain. He was the lone survivor of the Night of Long Knives when High King Vortigern assassinated nearly all the nobility of Britain. Duke Eldol, though already a grandfather at that time, fought his way out of the trap using the leg of a table as a weapon. Back at Glevum he resisted Vortigern and the Saxon armies for years.
When Aurelius Ambrosius returned, the old duke quickly joined the new king and was always at the forefront fighting Vortigern and the Saxons. For his service King Aurelius knighted him and gave him additional holdings.
He was succeeded by Duke Escan.
