==Britain==[[We've always wondered why someone hasn't produced a glossy photo "Coffee Table" book that covers a selection of the most famous Viking burials found in England]]. Because no one has, we've decided to try and do something similar here.<br>[[We've initially selected 15 Viking Age burials found in Scotland]], some containing multiple bodes, that we feel best inform us about the lives of those people living over 1000 years ago. We've tried to represent the Western Viking area and a spread of datelines.<br>[[Viking burials found in the Isle of Man]]

France, [[Ile de Groix]]
