It was probably deposited by a wealthy Viking leader during the unrest that followed the conquest of Northumbria in AD 927 by the Anglo-Saxon king Athelstan – swipe to see more from the hoard 👉 The Vale of York Hoard provides valuable information about the cultural and commercial networks that existed in England in the 10th century – objects come from Afghanistan and Russia, and coins relate to Islam, Christianity, and the pre-Christian religion of the Vikings.
