Danish Viking Clan

Beginning in the 8th century, the Danes began a long era of well-organized
raids across the coasts and rivers of Europe. Large areas outside Scandinavia
were settled by the Danes including what became know as the Danelaw in England,
the Netherlands, northern France and Ireland. Two Viking warriors from the same
clan separated for more than 1000 years and have finally been reunited at the
Danish National Museum in Copenhagen.
Danelaw was established as an area ruled by Vikings and extended across
much of England. A group of fairly young Viking warriors was found here buried
in a mass grave near the church where they had been killed by orders from King
Aethelred II, King of the English. The warrior hilighted here was in his 20s and
died from injuries to his head. He had sustained 8 to 10 hits to the head and
several stab wounds to the spine.

The 7th Crusade

The Crusader States (also known as Outremer) were created after the First
Crusade (1095-1102) as a way to keep hold of territorial gains by Christian
armies in the Middle East. Crusader castles were built all over Outremer to
serve not only as defensive structures, but also as administrative and economic
centers designed to last for many years to come. The four small Outremer states
were the Kingdom of Jerusalem, the County of Edessa, the Country of Tripoli and
the Principality of Antioch. This analysis focuses on the former Phoenician and
later Roman colony of Sidon / Saida which remained in Arab hands until 1110 when
King Baldwin I of Jerusalem and King Sigured I of Norway captured it. The city
was then re-captured by the masterful Saladin in 1187, only to be re-taken by
German Crusaders in 1197. It remained a key Crusader stronghold until the
Saracen invasion of 1249 when it was destroyed - this series of exchanges
presented the backdrop for the ill-fated 7th Crusade.
The 7th Crusade was led by Louis IX of France from 1248 to 1254. Jerusalem
had recently fallen and there was no popular enthusiasm at the time for a new
crsusade, as Europe was involved in many internal conflicts. Bela IV of Hungary
was rebuilding his kingdom from ashes after the devastating Mongol invasion of
Europe. Henry III of England was struggling at home and Haakon IV of Norway was
in the midst of a civil war. Louis IX was almost alone in declaring a new
crusade to the east and in 1248 sailed from Aigues-Mortes and Marseilles with an
army of 15,000. They sailed for Cyprus but Louis decided to focus first on
attacking Egypt. While marching towards Cairo, Louis' main force was attacked by
Mameluk Baibars and defeated. In 1250 while attempting to return to a safer
location, Louis himself was captured and taken prisoner after his army was
annihilated. He was ransomed for 800,000 bezants after which he fled to Acre,
one of the safest crusader strongholds in Outremer. The French King re-enforced
local defenses and moved north to Sidon.

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.
