"Conquest Man"

Stocky and muscular, just over five foot, 50 – 60 years old and with evidence of multiple healed fractures, Conquest Man was buried in the private church of one of William the Conqueror’s knights, at St Peter’s in Barton on Humber, now in the care of charity English Heritage. He was laid to rest in a coffin made from an oak tree felled in c.1079, his arms folded, head supported on a grass pillow and kept from falling sideways by two lumps of local chalk. Three apple wood staffs – grave goods in the Scandinavian tradition - were by his side.

Spoiler Alert: He was almost certainly Norman, though the "Scandinavian" element is interesting, and gives a clue that the conquerors' Viking antecedents weren't buried so very deeply after all.
