In response to several inquiries, the source of the story is in the following publication: "Anglo-Saxon England", by Lloyd & Jennifer Laing, London: Paladin/Grafton Books, c 1979, Paladin reprint 1987, ISBN 0-586-08371-5, US Distributor: Hunter Publishing, Inc., 300 Raritan Center Pkwy., Edison, NJ 08818, Ph 201-225-1900, $9.95 Pages 235-236 relate a brief history of the artifact, which is shown in Figure 111. My interest is more with the identity of Captain FULLER (vs the brooch), and in general, FULLER families from the area south of Oxford, a region formerly in north Berkshire, circa Abingdon & Didcot.
