Edward of Wessex
Sir Edward of Wessex was Lord of Wessex Castle and the husband of Lady Eleanor.
In the 13th century, ([Time Warrior (TV story)|TV: The Time Warrior]) Sarah Jane Smith, believing the Third Doctor took scientists out of the 20th century to help Irongron in this time period, gave Sir Edward and Eleanor the idea to raid Irongron's castle with their men to bring the Doctor to Wessex Castle. The Doctor explained that the Sontaran Linx was the one working with Irongron, and allied with Sir Edward and Eleanor to stop Irongron and Linx's attack on the castle. The Doctor advised them to attack Irongron's castle before Irongron attacked again. (TV: The Time Warrior)
