Knútr (Cnut), king of the English, was at Emperor Conrad II’s coronation in Rome #OTD in 1027. Shortly after, he wrote to Æthelnoth of Canterbury and Ælfric of York to say he had acted on the excessive sums asked of his archbishops when they visited Rome to receive their pallia. #medievalsky

Sadly I don't have any more beautiful Insular harness fittings to offer for this week's Viking camps #FindsFriday - last week was a one-off! However, I thought we'd stay in the west and look at another find from Aldwark. This buckle-plate is ADB925, decorated with knotwork and roundel designs. /1

A photograph of a buckle plate, find DB925 from the Great Army camp at Aldwark. The tongue and loop of the buckle are missing, but deeply-incised designs of interlaced knotwork and ropework roundels can be clearly seen.
