Bio: According to Burke's preface to the roll, on the site of the Battle of Hastings, where Herald fell, was founded the Abbey of Battle and subsequently a Benedictine monastery. The monks there "were enjoined to pray for those who died in the battle, and to preserve a faithful record of all who shared in the glory of the victory. Thus arose the Abbey of Battle, and thus the Roll of Battle Abbey."
