What I've learnt from a lifetime of studying history - is that for most - if not all, my ancestors, life was harsh, brutal - and short!!

Ok so it's 13 of November here in the UK and today I have received a message from 23 and me to tell me 4 of my ancestors died here St Brice's Day Oxford,, that has just knocked me flat. My ancestry is from Newcastle and West Yorkshire. I am 100% British going back from ad 600 where they found warriors (my genetic ancestors) buried in long boats (Estonia)and Viking women in Orkney. But today is the 13th of November...............

The statue of the warrior with the sword shown when they are talking about Aethelred is actually a statue of King Alfred in Winchester!

I too have been DNA linked to six victims. I knew some of our Viking history but this was a revelation. I appreciate Oxford University and others for their work (also learned via 23&me).
