Norman Tunic Belt
The Normans (Northmen) were descended from the Viking conquerors of Northern France and gave the name Normandy to this newly acquired territory. The Duchy of Normandy, which they formed by treaty with the French crown, was one of the great fiefs of medieval France. The Normans were a war-like people and in 1066 William, Duke of Normandy invaded England and defeated the Anglo Saxons at the Battle of Hastings.

This stunning piece was expertly engineered by Anglo-Saxon craftsmen and was probably made for one of 4 kings: Raedwald who was overlord of the English kingdoms between AD616 and his death (at the latest in 627, probably in 625/626), Eorpwald (died 627/628) and co-regents Sigebert and Ecric, who both died fighting Penda of Mercia in AD637. The Great Gold Buckle is now on display in the British Museum.
