In an attempt to further my research, I have started this blog to organize my information on Irish history and Ireland into a more comprehensive way. Hopefully I'll maintain this information and it will prompt me to keep it going. My main goal is to develop a better understanding of Medieval Ireland so as to provide myself with a better persona. If you'd like to keep track of this blog, the link to my RSS file is http://scaireland.blogspot.com/atom.xml Happy feeding!

Notes and Ideas
I have determined that my next area of research will be in the possible sumptuary laws that governed the Irish during my timeframe of study. Late period German research on sumptuary hasn't been amazingly productive, but who knows, maybe I'll get lucky with Irish. :D Most of the sumptuary I'm finding at least for the Germanic people seem to come from religious documents, therefore, that will be my first stop when determining Irish sumptuary and whether or not they had any laws governing the excess of their people.
