== Important Deeds of Note ==
In [[492]], Earl Roderick came to the defense of the Ursine Brotherhood, defending them at their trial for treason by pledging his own honor to their innocence. This unprecedented gesture of loyalty to his vassal knights turned the tide of the trial and was instrumental in convincing King Uther of their innocence.
In [[493]], Roderick led the Ursine Order north to Malahaut in order to renegotiate the alliance with the Centurion King. While there, [[King Heraut]] was shown to be conspiring to attack Logres with the aid of [[King Octa]] and [[King Eosa]], the hated Saxon rulers, who had recently escaped from the dungeons of Logres. The Ursine Order warned Roderick of this treachery and led him back to the safety of Salisbury, where they alerted King Uther to this turn of events.
In [[495]], Roderick was instrumental in helping Uther to win the battle of St. Albans against the Saxon hordes. Awash with the victory, a great feast was held. The Saxons, in their treachery, poisoned the wine at the feast and murdered nearly all the Cymric nobility, Earl Roderick among them. Earl Roderick was entombed at the chapel at Sarum, in the Castle on the Rock.
