The duke Beorhtnoth was a defender of the monks, and a patron of the church, especially the abbey of Ely. After the battle the Abbot of Ely obtained his body and buried it in the abbey. His head had been hacked off and was not recovered: it was replaced in the tomb by a ball of wax,

He was tall, and he walked lightly and quickly; he was dressed all in dark green and wore a hood that partly overshadowed his face.

Creative Fantasy, because it is mainly trying to do something else, may open your hoard and let all the locked things fly away like cage birds. The gems all turn into flowers or flames, and you will be warned that all you had was dangerous and potent, not really effectively chained, free and wild; no more yours than they were you.
