It's just a page in the Guardian reporting the sentence of five years a piece of dealers caught trying to flog portions of a Saxon hoard discovered in Herefordshire some years ago and illegally excavated. The actual excavators have already been tried and jailed. The significance of the hoard was the evidence from coins of a much different relationship between Alfred of Wessex and some unpronouncable king of of Mercia than thought originally; the latter being hitherto dismissed as something of a puppet under the thumb of the Danes. Now thought to have been more of a good chap. In Anglo-Saxon terms. |
