The Pagan Lady of Peel
Channel: Culture Vannin
Date: 2023-04-14

The 'Pagan Lady' of Peel Castle is one of the most exciting finds ever discovered in the Isle of Man.
This Viking-era woman was buried with various interesting and telling items, including her sewing kit, a knife and amulets. But most staggering of all was the necklace, which points to connections not just across the Viking world, but back to Roman times and even as far away as Persia (modern-day Iran)!
