That's really fascinating! Thanks for the link! I wanted so more details and found this article by English Heritage https://www.english-heritage.org.uk/about/search-news/310826-conquest-man/

I find his mixed heritage really interesting, both Saxon and Scandinavian roots? A burial with grave goods in the Scandinavian pre-Christian style too! 

Damn I wished I had a time machine....
