In the fall of 2007, the Kroppedal Museum made an archaeological excavation on the outskirts of Torslunde Village in Ishøj Municipality.

What at the beginning of the excavation was a football field, would soon prove to conceal the grave of a rich prince from the Roman Iron Age - around the year 250 AD.

Now Bredekærgård exhibits the remains of the prince from the Roman Iron Age on Bredekærgård and tell the story of his life. A life that was surrounded by Roman luxury goods but ended with a violent death on the battlefield.
