      The Sutton Hoo burial is dated to 610 - 635 AD so more like 1,400 years old

    I've been studying photos of this helmet for decades. It's easy to get drawn into and then lost in the strangely beautiful and complex ornamentation while losing sight of structural features. If the face plate (or death mask) were to be removed the basic design seems to have a lot more in common with the earlier Roman helmet than the later Viking era helmet. The neck guard and hinged cheek protectors (although both quite exaggerated in the Sutton Hoo helmet) are important clues.

    i went to a normal comprehensive school and this helmet was on the front of all of our history text books, being a snottly little average kid i didnt take much notice. most of the covers and inside photographs of these books were filled with graffitied cocks and fannys and crude funny speech bubbles on most the pictures of historical moments, many, many, years later visiting London i seen his helmet for real and it floored me, that was the bloody helmet that was on my class school books....then the research began, the old saying "if i only knew then what i know now" !

    From the age of 6 in the colder months of the year My father took me very Sunday to the British Museum. No church Culture.I bought my first estampe At 12 a Leonardo de Vinci drawing in sepia of a lady. As a Nation people do not realise how privileged they are to have these artefacts of History to study. I stopped visiting at 15yr's. When I went to study in Paris . There i had the Louvre. It did not hold the same attraction . Preferring art . There I was delighted by the impressionist .

      You seem like a delightful person Sonia , and you have, very smart parents or a very smart father . I was raised by scholars and culture was my food . WE didn't have museums , but i was raised by an archaeologist and theologian working for the university of Reykjavik and Copenhagen (father) and an anthropo-ethnologist (mother) working for the UNESCO documenting intangible world heritage . Excavating sites were my playgrounds as a kid and by the age of 14 i had lived in over 20 countries, my favourite being the middle eastern ones, and living with the Inuits and the Native in the US and Australia . Strangely enough , Nature and the wild fauna and flora were my obsession, far more than people or their culture . Today I am a veterinarian and ethologist , but museums are definitely my favorite places to spent any given time off i can afford . Art , science and craftsmanship are by far the greatest legacies in human history.

One could spend 8 hours a day, for 5 days in a row and still not see everything on display in its full glory. Every nook, every cranny, every wall and corner holds a rich and wonderful story.

    This helmet is very similar to the helmets found in Vendel Sweden, although they are a bit more simple they are still very similar. The motives are the same, the technique in making the metal, the way the person was buried, etc. In this time the Swedish king lives just a few miles from Vendel in Old Uppsala in one of the largest halls in Northern Europe. Is this a member from the royal family in Uppsala?

    Sutton hoo = west geatic dialect = väst götisk in to days swedish language. Yes it was a dynasty from the time when the anglians and the west geats together made Anglia to the leading might. The west geats were very forward and cultural people and their king Hygelac was a historical king and Beowulf was fighting for him and became king after Hygelac fell in a battle around 521 in Angeln. I know where Beowulf killed Grendel and died at the rich mans hill and was buried on the Whale mountain 11 km from my villa 90 km north of Gothenburg. It´s a true story.

      The English are a West Germanic people though they came from Denmark and the border of Germany. They came to Briton Vogican king of the Britons invited then over after the Pics caused some shit, but they said they wanted to stay because the land was better then were there were from. so they kicked the ass of the Britons out of Kent set them packing to London. Any Briton was called Welsh meaning slave. My gandad farther name was Cadby meaning Nordic meaning settlement. So one of them was a Viking Settler in England.

      The Jutes or Eotas were a Saxon grouping who lived on the borders of the Franks, who they were heavily influenced by. This is borne out by the close relationship the Jutes of Kent and Hampshire had with the Franks in the 5th and 6th centuries AD. It is a myth that the Jutes came from Jutland.

      +marius offing That's one theory. But it's not as widely accepted as the Jutland theory. Bede wrote that the Jutes lived next to the Angles yet on the opposite side of the Saxon-Angle border which places them in Jutland.
      The Frankish infulence on the kingdom of Kent can be attributed to it's earlier christianisation and proximity to Frankia. Which are post-migration.

    Very interesting perspective on the early days of the British Isles. As to the ridiculous arguments about bronze or iron being better or worse, hammered or soft, Chinese or European - the argument was settled by the total eclipse of bronze I favor of iron weapons. Case closed. I know of no bronze armed army that prevailed for long against any iron armed army. Iron led to steel, and most peoples the world over developed steel at about the same time and many had excellent steel for edged weapons, if a warrior could afford them. Many Ottoman sabers, Spanish Toledos, Mogul swords, and even African examples are made of excellent steel. Bronze sword making is a beautiful but obsolete art that is being re-found today. Viking Era swords of fine steel (actually made in Germany) - are as good as anything produced commercially today.
    All this, according to the internet, so it must be true....

    From the Anglo Saxon Chronicles how the Anglos Saxon and Jutes got here a passage from the book.
    A.D. 449. This year Marcian and Valentinian assumed the empire, and reigned seven winters. In their days Hengest and Horsa, invited by Wurtgern, king of the Britons to his assistance, landed in Britain in a place that is called Ipwinesfleet; first of all to support the Britons, but they afterwards fought against them. The king directed them to fight against the Picts; and they did so; and obtained the victory wheresoever they came. They then sent to the Angles, and desired them to send more assistance. They described the worthlessness of the Britons, and the richness of the land. They then sent them greater support. Then came the men from three powers of Germany; the Old Saxons, the Angles, and the Jutes. From the Jutes are descended the men of Kent, the Wightwarians (that is, the tribe that now dwelleth in the Isle of Wight), and that kindred in Wessex that men yet call the kindred of the Jutes. From the Old Saxons came the people of Essex and Sussex and Wessex. From Anglia, which has ever since remained waste between the Jutes and the Saxons, came the East Angles, the Middle Angles, the Mercians, and all of those north of the Humber. Their leaders were two brothers, Hengest and Horsa; who were the sons of Wihtgils; Wihtgils was the son of Witta, Witta of Wecta, Wecta of Woden. From this Woden arose all our royal kindred, and that of the Southumbrians also.

      1. Never said that they traded directly. Add to that 90% of history of that period is unknown. Most stuff known about the period are things that survived miraculously. 2. So? English are mostly Briton blood anyway, just in the East there's more Anglo in them. There are endless explanations, the obvious one that it is a part of the dragon design. 3. What's the bowl called? Either way, it is called trade. They had a bowl from Byzantine too in Sutton Hoo.
