== Introduction ==[[Swords of Type I found in Britain]]<br>The following list of swords is not comprehensive and only represents those currently known ''850AD? to the author. They have been categorised using Wheelers typology. Low quality images have been included to assist with identification and it is not the authors intention to infringe any copyrights by doing so. 1025AD'' <br>The swords in this catalogue only include sword [[Swords of Type II found in England, Scotland, Wales and surrounding isles. It does not include swords from Ireland. The swords listed here were not all made in Britain, many of them being made in Scandinavia or main land Europe. In the same way it is not a list of swords possibly made in England as many examples of these have been found all over Europe.]]<br>''Norwegian 750AD to 960AD'' <br>
