Wighard

Wighard was a tin merchant from Angleland. He, along with his niece Hilda, were on a trading trip to Ispania and staying in Tarrago when the Franco-Saxons attacked. He heard a loud roar, saw a cloud of foul smoke and then the locked gates came crashing down. The two of them escaped through another gate and hide in the graveyard a half mile to the west. He scared off a squad of soldiers by suddenly rising up and shouting "Boo"! Wighard figured that with their consorting with demons, they would be more fearful than he, and it seemed that he was proved correct.

Wighard and his niece made their way south and west to New Carthage where they took up residence in Ioan's Inn and told their story to Basil Argyros.
