Synopsis

Thanks to the visionary inspiration of Mrs Edith May Pretty, the great ship-burial from Mound One at Sutton Hoo in Suffolk was discovered by archaeologist Mr Basil Brown in 1939 and found to contain some of the richest treasure ever discovered on the island of Britain. Many people have found themselves enchanted by the wonder of this treasure, which has shone a brilliant light into the shadowy history of the early seventh century. So who was the king who lay in such majesty amidships? This little book restates the case for Rędwald with a consideration of his place in history as one of the first kings of all England and a central figure in the coming of Christianity.
