That is an official 'bad hair' day. Ouch.

It certainly demonstrates the violence of the period.

The Wars of the Roses were just as nasty.

man was hacked six times in the head from behind

Must have been a government worker who committed suicide.

Workplace violence was cutting edge, even back then.

They think he was likely British because of the way he was buried

The fact that it took six blows to the head to kill him means he was probably a Scot.

How far is this from King Harald’s battle with Harald Hardrada at Stamford Bridge?

To any freepers have any British ancestry whatsoever: you’re probably looking at the skull of a direct ancestor. And the only reason I say “probably” is we don’t know if the dead gentleman had kids. If he had a few kids, it goes up to a sure thing.

So sue someone for dishonoring the bones of your ancestor!

I clicked on this partly to see if archaeologists thought he was British because... of tea-stained teeth.

1066 was a pretty rough year for many of the English, probably none more so than this man.

“who took six sword blows to the top of his head before dying”

It it was a suspicious death of someone involved in a democrat political scandal the coroner would rule it a suicide.

No. anyone 45 years old at the time of the Battle of Hastings would not have been yet born 1000 years ago.
