Summary
In 2004 an important new Viking silver hoard was discovered near Huxley, Cheshire. This book brings together leading specialists on the Vikings to set out the latest research into Scandinavian settlement and activity in the North West and Wales, including archaeological evidence and the contribution of place names, historical research, and stone sculpture to our understanding of the period. These contributors also provide a definitive account of the objects themselves, their likely origin and date of manufacture, and consider the intriguing questions of why the hoard was buried in England and by whom.
