Not sure if "Jan Mortimer" is fictional. The Mortimer family lived a few km north of my home. I read their biography several years ago and my memory of it is confused, so I will say no more. They lived at Wigmore Castle which is near the present day village of Mortimers Cross. The Battle of Mortimer's Cross (February 1461) is adjacent. The Tudor army was soundly defeated, Owain Tudor escaped but was captured at my home, Hereford (24km south of battle field) and was beheaded in the town square. It saw the end of the Tudor dynasty.

It turns out Hereford had a cathedral in the Middle Ages. So your home is sometimes mentioned in this book (population, bishop's behavior etc). I also read the previous book of this author, about the 14th century. Hereford is also mentioned)

The cathedral is still here but the castle is only represented by earthworks and part of the moat (know locally at the duck pond). Hereford is a town of Saxon origin and Romans settled a little to the west, I do not know why they did not use the town and expand it - Hereford is situated on one of the few ancient fords arcoss the river Wye
