Battle, Ballads, Burning and the Bible: a new interpretation of ‘Sueno’s Stone’ at Forres

Society of Antiquaries of London Burlington House, Piccadilly, London, United Kingdom

The monumental cross slab at Forres, Moray, at 6.5m high, displays the most graphic visual record of a Viking military onslaught in Britain. Recent carbon dating places its erection in the later ninth century, and new drawings indicate Viking funeral practice. The Bible, old Welsh and Irish literature provide a narrative to the heroic and grisly feats depicted.
