@lady_of_the_mercians: The Old English word ‘leger’ means ‘a place where one lies’, and is used to refer to both beds and graves, suggesting that this is indeed the message behind such burials. It also existed on the continent - the picture is of a German bed. #medievaltiktok #oldenglish #anglosaxons #sadhistory #archaeology

Being buried in a ship would be pretty sweet, but imagine being buried with the cold side of the pillow

Beds and ships both incredibly valuable and a high labour and materials value

There was a reconstruction of a bed burial in Norwich Castle and it was really moving

I wonder, would that be a specially made bed, or the one wife and husband used to share? If 2nd- that's even more impactful!

the word "Lager" in German can still sometimes refer to a place to lie down, including a grave🥲

Now I’m just thinking of a angleo Saxon father and mother carrying their daughter and tucking her in like they did when she was little one last time

Men were warriors going off to war in ships. Women were warriors in giving birth in or near the bed.
