6-Year-Old Boy Unearths 1,300-Year-Old Sword on School Trip
A routine first-grade field trip turned into the discovery of a lifetime when a six-year-old boy happened upon an exceptionally well-preserved sword dating back roughly 1,300 years. Found in the historically rich region of Gran in Innlandet, Norway, the artifact offers a fascinating glimpse into the late Merovingian or early Viking Age.
The discovery was made by young Henrik Refsnes Mørtvedt, a student at Fredheim School. While exploring a plowed field at Brandbu with his class, Henrik noticed something peculiar sticking out of the ground. His sharp eyes led to the recovery of a rare single-edged sword, an artifact that has thrilled local archaeologists and historians alike.

A Rare Single-Edged Find
The newly discovered weapon is what experts refer to as a “single-edged” sword, meaning it was forged to be sharp on only one side. Such swords, often called scramasaxes or saxes, were a common feature of the Merovingian period (circa 550–800 AD) and the transition into the early Viking Age.
