Quote:Then again there is influences in the Vendelfinds of Frankish and Merovingian art, like the eagle-plates on the shields for example and some enbossments on the girdles and such.
The guys in the graves where more than likley aware of the Franks and had at least tradecontact with them.
I agree
Lots of trading and other connections existed, for centuries.
A complete reconstruction of Vendel grave 7 would be interesting to see.
