[MR] BBC: Oxford Viking massacre graves

[Garth Groff]

Noble friends,

Here's something to enjoy while finishing up your breakfast or over your 
first cup of coffee at work (what I'm doing right now):

The piece concerns a group of skeletons uncovered in Oxford, apparently 
Danes who were massacred on the orders of king Ethelred in 1002. Very 
interesting bit of history here, sort of like Saxon England's own 
Sicilian Vespers. The story includes a side bar with major dates for 
Viking activities in England.

Kind regards,
