King Raedwald of East Anglia is thought to have died in about 624, though records on him are very scant. Some of the dates of births and deaths from this period are off by as much as ten years or more. He probably would have been buried very soon after death. One thing to mention, however, is that we do not actually know who was buried at Sutton Hoo, and the evidence that Raedwald was buried there is very inconclusive; he is just the person though to be most probably buried there.

King at Sutton Hoo refers to the possibility of a royal burial found in the archaeological site of Sutton Hoo, which has been theorized but not definitively proven. The term "Sutton Hoo" is more commonly associated with the Anglo-Saxon ship burial site dating back to the 6th-7th centuries, which provided valuable insights into early Anglo-Saxon culture and society. The site included a wealth of artifacts and treasures, shedding light on the maritime and trading connections of the Anglo-Saxons.
Sutton Hoo is one of the greatest finds in archeology that has ever been found. It is the burial site from the 7th century and contained treasures of gold, gems, and silver. One of the items buried there is a huge ship that is intact. This gave historians an unlimited amount of information of ship building in the 7th century as well as the treasure it contained. The items pulled from Sutton Hoo are exquisite and tell us about the people who made them.
