Sutton Hoo and Byzantium

How did the men and women buried at Sutton Hoo acquire so much wealth?
Why were they buried with so many objects from the eastern Mediterranean?
The conventional view is that they probably acquired the gold from their Merovingian neighbours, and that the imported goods came as gifts or through trade. This lecture will explore some alternative explanations which open up a startlingly new view of Anglo-Saxon history.
