The Sun Rose, the grass blew, It was a day like any other, infact it was better in some ways, but the cool summer wind is no reason to stop marching so they kept marching, and worrying as they were the Fyrd of Sweswale, (a Fyrd is, in effect, lots of farmers) however they weren't all part of the Fyrd, the lord of Sweswale, Uhtred, had taken his household troops with him, these were people that had been  raised as warriors, and were terrifying to behold in battle.
