    Raedwald had some damned good taste. There's some masterpieces of the period in his collection.
  • Some fantastic history you've brought to life here. Excellent 👌. Im familiar with the Sutton Hoo finds and the photos of the objects. The background stories and the reconstruction of the helmet are new to me and fascinating. Thanks for all you do.

    Ok, this is now my favorite among your videos to date. Thanks for sharing your passion for this period of history.
  • Thanks for this amazing video! I took my children to this amazing site years ago and I have seen the helmet at the British museum and it's awesome @

    Sorry couldn't be here 3 hours ago. But i just listened and loved it. Great and very interesting! Thank you History Profiles. Always enjoyable watching your videos
  • Around 3:30 it’s not just Scandinavian mythology. The Anglo Saxons, like other Germanic peoples, had the same ancestral religion just with different names and slight variations in myths. It isn’t influenced by Scandinavian mythology. Rather, the designs on the helmet, the ship burial etc. are cultural/ethnic cousins of Scandinavian culture. Otherwise a fantastic video! I’ll definitely be watching more of these.

  • First stop that popped in my head, gave me a bit of a chuckle was the time that little Richard was in one of those award shows where he was going to be presenting an award to a certain Entertainer and when you said hello the winner is ME. And then he went on the tirade about him starting all of rock and roll which was exactly what people like the Beatles the stones even Elvis Presley and so on said to him that if it wasn't for him there would be no rock and roll so he was talking that way people gave him an Applause Standing Ovation for his contribution and then when he opened up the thing to say who the winner was he said well what do you know it is me. So it when I saw that I was thinking I know who would have worn that, Little Richard. R.I.P.
