Sutton Hoo is a site in what is now Suffolk, England that served as an Anglo-Saxon cemetery during the Medieval period. It was well known for the ship burial it contained and served as the burial site of Wehha, one of the earliest kings of the Kingdom of the East Angles.
By the 870s, the site was occupied by a band of bandits who made it their home. The Viking Eivor Varinsdottir of the Raven Clan visited the cemetery at some point and eliminated the bandits within before looting a shield that was buried along with King Wehha.[1]
