The Sutton Hoo helmet is a decorated and ornate Anglo-Saxon helmet found during a 1939 excavation of the Sutton Hoo ship-burial. It was buried around 625 and is believed to have belonged to King Rædwald of East Anglia; the helmet was both a functional piece of armour and a decorative, prestigious piece of extravagant metalwork. It would have offered considerable protection if used in warfare, it is described as "the most iconic object" from "one of the most spectacular archaeological discoveries made," and the most important known Anglo-Saxon artefact. The visage contains eyebrows, a nose, moustache, creating the image of a man joined by a dragon's head to become a soaring dragon with outstretched wings, it has become a symbol of the Dark Ages and "of Archaeology in general." It was excavated as hundreds of rusted fragments, was first displayed following an initial reconstruction in 1945–46, in its present form after a second reconstruction in 1970–71. The helmet and the other artefacts from the site were determined the property of Edith Pretty, owner of the land on which they were found.

She donated them to the British Museum, where the helmet is on permanent display in Room 41. The helmet was buried among other regalia and instruments of power as part of a furnished ship-burial dating from the early seventh century; the ship had been lowered into a prepared trench. Inside this, the helmet was placed to the left of the head of the body. An oval mound was constructed around the ship. Long afterwards, the chamber roof collapsed violently under the weight of the mound, compressing the ship's contents into a seam of earth, it is thought that the helmet was shattered either by the collapse of the burial chamber or by the force of another object falling on it. The fact that the helmet had shattered meant. Had the helmet been crushed before the iron had oxidised, leaving it still pliant, the helmet would have been squashed, leaving it in a distorted shape similar to the Vendel and Valsgärde helmets. Attempts to identify the person buried in the ship-burial have persisted since the moment the grave was unearthed.

The preferred candidate, with some exceptions when the burial was thought to have taken place has been Rædwald. The case for Rædwald, by no means conclusive, rests on the dating of the burial, the abundance of wealth and items identified as regalia, befitting a king who kept two altars, the presence of both Christian and pagan influences. What scant information is known about King Rædwald of East Anglia, according to the Anglo-Saxon historian Simon Keynes, could fit "on the back of the proverbial postage stamp." All, recorded comes from the eighth-century Historia ecclesiastica gentis Anglorum by the Benedictine monk Bede, leaving knowledge of Rædwald's life poorly recorded, at the mercy of such things as differing interpretations of Ecclesiastical Latin syntax. Bede writes that Rædwald was the son of Tytila and grandson of Wuffa, from whom the East Anglian Wuffingas dynasty derived its name. In their respective works Flores Historiarum and Chronica Majora, the thirteenth-century historians Roger of Wendover and Matthew Paris appear to place Tytila's death, Rædwald's presumed concurrent succession to the throne, in 599, yet as reasonable as this date sounds, these historians' demonstrated difficulty with ninth-century dates leaves ample room for doubt.

Rædwald would have at least ascended to power by 616, around when Bede records him as raising an army on behalf of Edwin of Northumbria and defeating Æthelfrith in a battle on the east bank of the River Idle. According to Bede, Rædwald had accepted a bribe from Æthelfrith to turn Edwin over, before Rædwald's wife persuaded him to value friendship and honour over treasure. After the ensuing battle, during which Bede says Rædwald's son Rægenhere was slain, Rædwald's power was significant enough to merit his inclusion in a list of seven kings said by Bede to have established rule over all of England south of the River Humber, termed an imperium. Bede records Rædwald converting to Christianity while on a trip to Kent, only to be dissuaded by his wife upon his return. In the event that this was during Æthelberht's rule of Kent, it would have been sometime before Æthelberht's death around 618. Rædwald's own death can be conservatively dated between 616 and 633 if using Bede, whose own dates are not unquestioned.

Anything more specific relies on questionable post-Conquest sources. Roger of Wendover claims without attribution that Rædwald died in 624; the twelfth-century Liber Eliensis places the death of Rædwald's son Eorpwald, who had by succeeded his father, in 627, meaning Rædwald would have died before then. If relying on Bede, all that can be said is that Rædwald died sometime between his circa 616 defeat of Æthelfrith along the River Idle, 633, when Edwin, who after Rædwald died converted Eorpwald to Christianity, died. A precise date for the Sutton Hoo burial is needed for any credible attempt to identify its honoree. Thirty-seven gold Merovingian coins found alongside the other objects offer the most objective means of dating the burial; the coins—in addition to three blanks, two small ingots—were found in a purse, are themselves objec

"J'ai demandé à la lune" is the most popular song from the 2002 album Paradize which allowed Indochine to reconnect with the media that had abandoned the band a decade earlier. Indochine had gone through a vast amount of criticism before the release of the song; the song set the precedent for what French musicians can do. Written by Mickaël Furnon, the singer of Mickey 3D, the song was released as the second single from this album on March 2002, became a national success, selling over a million units; the album achieved commercial success a few months later.

In Belgium, the single charted for 36 weeks, it first stabilized in the low positions entered the top ten in its 12th week and stayed there for 17 consecutive weeks, peaking at number one for five weeks. After falling off the top five, it did not drop; the single was ranked fifth on the 2002 End of the Year Chart. In Switzerland, "J'ai demandé à la lune" debuted at a peak of number four on 21 July 2002, it stayed for many weeks at the bottom of the chart and became the 39th hit of the year in the country.
