My favorite find of everything that they've come across up there is a a very fancy chain.
I mentioned one earlier.
It's a decorated piece of metal that sits at the tip of a scabbard of a sword, to stop it being damaged as it rubs against the floor or the flank of a horse.
We contacted Scandinavian experts and they say it looks very like those chapes that have been recovered from eastern Viking sites, the Balkans, possibly even Bulgaria.
So these fields in Yorkshire
Along the River Derwent contain not just evidence of Vikings, not just evidence of battle, but of Vikings who have come from the East or who have possessions, objects from the East.
Exactly what we'd expect.
from those men that surrounded Harold Hadrada.
I'll put up a lot of the images on my social feed when this podcast comes out.
And also please do check out the history at television documentary that we've been making.
You're going to love the objects that have come out of these fields.
It's very, very exciting stuff.
I had some very happy and exciting times
with the wonderful team up there and I'd like to thank them again for getting me and History Hit involved.
You can also watch our episode on the Bear Tapestry on our YouTube channel, which picks up the story where we've left off with the epic Battle of Hastings, the Norman Conquest.
Make sure you go and check that out.
And finally, thank you for listening to this podcast.
Thank you for subscribing, for following, for doing all the things you've got to do.
And if you fancy leaving a review, obviously that makes a big difference.
Please do it.
