The cemetery was found in the village of Lisbjerg, located north of the Danish city of Aarhus.

They added: “Aarhus was one of the most important and oldest cities in Denmark at the time of Viking, serving as a center for King and International Trade … Aros and Lisbjerg were closely linked by the old main road, which went from the city Viking to the manor.”

A discovery of a particular interest was a silver -plated oak coffin which probably belonged to a high -level woman.

“Together, (discoveries) paint a painting of an aristocratic environment linked to royal power, which was part of the extended and dynamic world of the Vikings.”

The tomb contained a pin, a needle and a filigree pearl, made by twisting beautiful metal threads in ornate designs.

Mads Ravn, head of local cultural heritage in Momu, said that the tomb site is “most likely” linked to a Viking era manor less than a mile distance.

He noted: “The articles we found in the tombs tell us that the buried people were people of high status – it could be the very family of the manor who is buried here.”
