Taplow burial : ウィキペディア英語版 | Taplow burial
The Taplow burial is a 7th-century Anglo-Saxon burial mound in a part of a churchyard at the edge of the small riverside estate of Taplow Court, Buckinghamshire. The burial dates to ca. AD 620, roughly contemporary with the Sutton Hoo burial. The barrow is on a low hill overlooking the Thames Valley. ==History== The name Taplow itself is in origin that of the burial mound, from Old English ''Tæppas hláw'' "Tæppa's mound", so that the name of the unknown chief or nobleman buried in the mound would seem to have been Tæppa. The location of the barrow is right at the usual boundary of the kingdoms of Wessex, Sussex, Essex and Mercia during the early (6th century) Anglo-Saxon Heptarchy. As the southern Chilterns region was conquered by Mercia in the early 7th century, the occupant of the barrow at the moment of his death might have been a Kentish sub-king under Mercian dominion.
