10-11th Century Irish Warriors

[Robert Vermaat]

In my research into Irish history, particularly the conflicts with the Vikings, clontarf, Brian Boru, etc. I have come across a bunch of depictions of Irish warriors wearing a sort of apron-like cloth hanging down to about the knees and about a foot wide.

I hope you realise that this period lies outside the scope of this forum?:wink:

I've always taken the late Angus McBride as someone who does his homework on his pieces but you never know.

McBride could goof up as well. He once portrayed Brian Boru's son with a Late Roman Berkasovo helmet... hock:
