Quote:Well speaking of spear tips I have found out that a spear found in the Yorkshire area has been accurately dated to the sixth century. This spearhead was similar to the "Four Crosses" one except it was a little shorter, wider, and weighed a lot more. What do you think was its use?
Find site? Yorkshire's a big county. The eastern half, the old kingdom of Deira, was under Germanic rule by the mid 6th century whilst the western half (Elmet) remained in British hands until the early 7th. The last 'British' king of Elmet was apparently called Ceretic/Ceredig..which sounds a bit like Cerdic.
Which is nice. :wink:
