Who is Harrod? I’ve only ever heard of Herod. (Sorry, couldn’t resist! )
The Herod that was in power at the time of Jesus’ crucifixion was the son of Herod the Great, who tried to have Jesus killed as a baby. Herod the Great died when Jesus was a child. So they were two different Herods.
For more info, look at the article on Herod in the Catholic Encyclopedia: Herod
