Bercol
Bercol of Mercia was a leading ealdorman in the reign of King Æthelbald of Mercia (reigned 716-757). Attesting charters from 716, in his last dated 749 he is described as patricius,[1] indicating he was the king's most senior ealdorman.[2] An ealdorman named Offa earlier had this title, as given in a witness list from 742.
From the surviving four charters his status is also given as comes and dux, such as during his attendance at the Council of Clovesho in 742.[3]
