Biography[[edit] | [edit source]]
When Eldred reported finding a large box on the beach, Wulnoth went to look for himself, but it was gone.
When Vicki Pallister and Steven Taylor were captured by Eldred, Wulnoth questioned them. Based on his wife's account of her meeting with the First Doctor, he believed their claim that they were just travellers, despite Eldred's protests. Wulnoth had Edith give them food for their journey.
After Edith was attacked by Vikings, Wulnoth led a group of men to find them. They fought, and when the Vikings ran off, he brought a wounded Eldred to the monastery.
Wulnoth believed the First Monk's story of ships coming with supplies and agreed to set up a beacon for them, not knowing they were in reality a Viking fleet. However, Edith told him that the Doctor had warned her that a Viking fleet was coming. When Eldred returned from the monastery reporting the presence of Vikings, Wulnoth led his village in defending against the Viking attack.
Wulnoth and his men later confronted the Vikings Ulf and Sven who had been abandoned by the Monk, and killed them. (TV: The Time Meddler)
