A Frankish warrior burial

[Erpingham]

Here's another short note about a nice burial find from Germany.  Skeletal preservation is very good, as apparently is the sword.  Secondary weapons of a Breitsax - a broad-bladed sax - and a "lance" which has a very long head - an angon?

Although they have not yet done the pathology report, he seems to have a penetrating wound between the eyes which doesn't look post mortem.

right between the eyes....nice shot

Not from the recipient's point of view it wasn't.

Wasn't that the cover of one of the WRG rulesets?  Or perhaps one of their army lists?

And a cracking cover it was too!
