Jean-Paul Marat - Revolutionary France

The future French Revolutionary Jean-Paul Marat left home at the age of 16
to train in medicine and would eventually settle in Newcastle upon Tyne where he
gained a reputation as being a highly efficient doctor who also had an interest
in political writings. He moved back France 6 years later and his medical skills
earned him the patronage of the aristocracy. He used his new found wealth to
found a scientific laboratory where he began studies on fire, heat, light and
electricity - he was even visited by Benjamin Franklin. Despite his new status
and success, he began so spend a lot of time discussing and writing about social
injustice.
As Louis XVI struggled to maintain power in the late 1780s by assembling
the Estates-General for the first time in 175 years, Marat decided to end his
research and medical profession to focus entirely on his passion for politics.
He began writing on the topics of social, economic and religious reforms - this
manifested itself in numerous vicious attacks on those he proclaimed were
enemies of the people. His newspaper called for extreme violence against the
upper class and government provoking statements such as five or six hundred
heads cut off would have assured your repose, freedom and happiness. After
reaching fame, He was elected to the National Convention in 1792 where he
actively supported the death of the deposed King in a trial.

Dorset Viking Massacre

On Ridgeway Hill in the County of Dorset, a mass burial was found with the
remains of 54 males. These individuals had all been executed in a gruesome
manner with their decapitated heads dumped together in a large pit.
Interestingly enough all of the sharp blade wounds had been struck from the
front, meaning these individuals had faced their enemy. Radiocarbon dating
showed the bodies were from 890-1030 AD. Strontium isotopes found in the bones
show these individuals were originally from Scandinavia.
The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, which had been written around 890 AD, provides a
year-by-year account of all the major happenings in Anlgo Saxon England.
Aethelred the Unready had been king from 978-1016 AD - it is quite possible
these bodies died during his reign. Initially the king had paid Viking raiders
off with over 10,000 pounds to stop raiding their lands. Later they began hiring
Norse mercenaries to fight off the invading Vikings - however these mercenaries
would switch sides frequently and proved too risky.

Thuringian Princess of Hassleben

An ancient cemetery was discovered in Hassleben Thuringia which remained
the richest ancient grave found in Germany for almost a hundred years. Not only
was the oldest written Germanic word ever discovered etched onto a comb, but
hundreds of Roman coins, ceramic fragments and Roman-style brooches were also
discovered. This is no accident as much of our knowledge regarding Thuringia and
broader Germania comes from the Roman historian Tacitus. The Elbe Germanic
tribes who moved into this region were allies of the Romans who were trading
partners, a buffer to the neighbouring Chatti - sworn enemies of Rome, as well
as specialised in metalworking of iron and precious metals.
Here you can see the richly outfitted grave of the Princess of Hassleben
which demonstrates the influential noble class who had a very close relationship
with the Romans. She was a young woman buried with a choker, golden fibulae, a
ring, a collier of roman glass beads, roman coins, pottery plates and vessels.
In her mouth was a Roman gold coin - known as Charons obol - which would provide
payment to Charon the ferryman to allow her soul to reach the world of the dead.
Next to her remains lay the skeleton of a small dog - possibly her personal pet.
