An interesting article on a recently discovered grave of a high status warrior. The fact that he was buried with a sword shows that he was someone of real authority and wealth. As I read the piece I wondered if he is a person who has being named in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle(if he was indeed an AS) such is the wealth of his grave goods and the location of the grave.
