The lede says "they may constitute some of the few complete, surviving medieval chess sets, although it is not clear if a set as originally made can be assembled from the pieces." I guess to me that would read more clearly as something like "They may constitute some of the few ... sets, although this is not clear". And then the talk page in the 'inconsistencies' section has a citation which says they form 2 complete sets. --[[User:Richardson mcphillips|Richardson mcphillips]] ([[User talk:Richardson mcphillips|talk]]) 22:32, 21 January 2014 (UTC)
 
:This is an old comment - I just happened to be given a reproduction of the set and read this article - yes, the lede is still odd - can a chess set be made from what was fond - I think not actually, but would need to take the effort to research it - it currently reades "they may constitute some of the few complete, surviving [[medieval]] [[Chess set|chess sets]], although i'''t is not clear if a period-accurate set can be assembled from the pieces.''' When found, the hoard contained 93 artifacts: 78 chess pieces, 14 [[Tables (board game)|tablemen]] and one belt buckle. Today, 82 pieces are owned and usually exhibited by the [[British Museum]] in [[London]], and the remaining 11 are at the [[National Museum of Scotland]] in [[Edinburgh]]. Doctor BeingObjetive MD.
