The 150 bones have been lent to the Danish museum by the Oxfordshire Museum in Britain for three years
Separated for 1,000 years, two Viking warriors from the same family were reunited last week at Denmark's National Museum, as DNA analysis helps shed light on the Vikings' movements across Europe. One of the Vikings died in England in his 20s in the 11th century, from injuries to the head. He was buried in a mass grave in Oxford. The other died in Denmark in his 50s, his skeleton bearing traces of blows that suggest he took part in battles. DNA mapping of skeletons from the Viking era — from the eighth to the 12th century — enabled archaeologists to determine by chance that the two were related.
