Talk:Rædwald of East Anglia

message: There seems to be some discrepancy.  According to this page and Bretwalda, Raedwald lived and reigned until 627.  However, List of monarchs of East Anglia says that it was 617.  Is there really some question in the historical record, or is there a typo here?   --Deville (Talk) 15:33, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: They're all wrong according to the Blackwell Encyclopedia of Anglo-Saxon England under Raedwald: " ... he probably died c.624." He was certainly alive in 617 (ASC Ms. E, s.a. 617; HE, ii.12) and dead before 627 (HE, ii.14). Angus McLellan 23:00, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Chronology

message: Lacks necessary information and organization. I have no further references pertaining to this subject, so I will be unable to add or subtract information in this article. Sorry! Did notice, however, that the birth/death date is disputed, and as it is very difficult to ascertain the exact birth/death date when it is this far back in history, an "(estimation)" note might be in order...?

thread_title:  Introduction 

message: Bringing discussion here from my talk page.  I've done a rewrite and had some helpful comments from User:Dr_Steven_Plunkett; I will be fixing those up on a subpage of my user page and then we can figure out what can be used from that version.
Steven, how about taking it in this order:
* I clean up the problems you mentioned
* We use the existing section head structure and see what material is usable from the new version, and merge section by section as we figure out what is worth adding
* If it looks like sections can/should be split or merged, we can do that as we go.
Does that sound like a plan?  If so, I'll post a note here when I've dealt with the issues you pointed out.  Thanks -- Mike Christie (talk) 23:24, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

message: There is a serious lack of in-line citations here. When citing Bede, can you also cite your secondary source, unless you have an original copy yourself?
There is also a suggestion of original research, which seems to be quite common among Pre-Norman England articles on wikipedia. WikiP is not a place to interpret sources, that is covered in the article WP:original research.

thread_title:  Citations missing, possibly original work 

message: It is stated in "A topographical and historical description of the county of Suffolk", by John Kirby (http://books.google.com/books?id=vQAIAAAAQAAJ, page 123) that a crown was found at Rendlesham that may have belonged to Raedwald.  Kirby cites an older source, the historian William Camden ("Cambden").  The crown weighed about 60 ounces and was sold and melted down(!)  Later in his book (page 305) Kirby says the crown was found at Mendlesham.  According to Westwood and Simpson, "The Lore of the Land" (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Lore-Land-Englands-Legends-Spring-heeled/dp/0141007117) this discovery was made about 1687.  This fact or legend may be worth of inclusion in this or some related article. 24.27.31.170 (talk) 03:23, 23 February 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Dear reader(s), 
I read: "There are also significant differences, and exact parallels with the workmanship and style of the Sutton Hoo artefacts cannot be found elsewhere; as a result the connection is generally regarded as unproven."
Many scholars around the world have agreed, however, that the artefacts found in the mound of Wijnaldum (Frisia, nowadays Friesland in the Netherlands), especially the Brooch (that could have been made by the same of similarly inspired/trained smith) are in fact very familar to the artefacts found in Sutton Hoo. The dating is similar and fits right in the generally supported impression of a greater North Sea culture, exchanging gifts, goods and DNA. 
Here I submit some (rapidly collected) links, so that you may decide for yourselves whether or not to incorporate the above said in the existing text or not.
