History
Grentesca was formed as a shire of the Kingdom of Ænglar when Vilhelm Gervald was named first Earle of Grentesca in A.I. 1440 by Aldƿulf Ennius. He was succeeded by Eadmund in A.I. 1473, Eadweard Lisbet in A.I. 1526, Rikard Anell in A.I. 1555, and Eduard Reicart in A.I. 1585.
Grantebryce was occupied by the Tenneman in A.I. 1628, and the shire remained subject to the Denalagh until A.I. 1658 when it was liberated by Æthelflæs Ældrǣd and subsequently annexed into Myrce.
