10-11th Century Irish Warriors

Ave!

Another really good information source is the Armour Archive, particularly threads such as this:

The second post on that thread is by Saverio, "Da Man" for Irish medieval clothing. Hmm, old posts so many of the photos are gone, but still has useful links. But do a search on that board, particularly the Historical Research section, and you should turn up quite a bit of good stuff.

Angus McBride was an artist, not a researcher. He worked from the author's information, and was sometimes known to work so fast that there was no time to correct errors! Stick to the primary sources whenever possible.

All that said, I don't recall seeing that apron thingy before! Not that I've done a ton of research on Ireland of that era, but weird that I haven't run across it anyway. History's mysteries!
