Collars, chains, and iron shackles like these, found in Ireland, would have been worn by slaves in the Viking era.
Scandinavian settlers may have brought slaves with them to the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms. As they conquered more territory, they likely enslaved more people.

Slaves were used by both Anglo-Saxons and Scandinavians for work in farming, construction, and more. While slaves had no rights, after a time, some might be able to save enough money to buy their freedom.
