Archaeologists unearth ‘very powerful’ medieval man and his 4-foot-long sword

In Sweden, archaeologists have uncovered the remains of a tall and “powerful” medieval man, laid to rest with his remarkably well-preserved 4-foot-long sword, suggesting his affiliation with high nobility during that era.

The man, standing at 1.90 meters (6 feet 3 inches) tall, is believed to have been a nobleman from the 15th or early 16th century, a period when the region was united with Denmark and Norway.

This discovery was made during an archaeological investigation at Lilla Torg in Halmstad, where the late medieval convent Sankta Anna’s church once stood, as reported by the Halland Cultural Environment, a local government agency, in a blog post.

The 4-foot-long sword, positioned to the left of the man, stands out as the sole item found among the 49 examined graves during the ongoing reconstruction of Lilla Torg, the Independent reported.
