Relics found in the Viking's Tomb at Taplow (second series), 1883. 1. Flint Implements. 2. Bone Implements. 3. Bones probably used for playing a game (22 in number). 4. Silver-Mounted Drinking-Horn. 5. British Pottery. 6. Bronze Vessel. 7. Glass Vase. 8. Silver Rim of Cup. 10. Spear. 9. Umbo of Shield. 11. Sword...interesting discovery at Taplow, near Maidenhead, of the tomb of a Norse maritime chieftain or "Viking"...Among the articles...are the broken sword and spear of the Viking, the "umbo" of his shield, the fine drinking-horn, with its silver-gilt mounting, a vessel of bronze and one of glass (with their proper form restored), and pieces of the silver rims of the drinking-cups; besides some of the bits of ancient pottery, flint, and bone, which maybe of less antiquarian value...Mr. Rutland observes that, in the...sixth century, Cuthwulf, son of Cynric, King of the West Saxons, conquered the country which is now the shires of Berks, Oxford, and Bucks, and the great battle of Bedford was fought in 571. It is a plausible conjecture, that this warfare gave the Viking an opportunity to advance up the Thames as far as Berkshire and Buckinghamshire...he may have died in the neighbourhood of Taplow, where his followers laid him in the tomb'.
