SCA Ireland Research

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!

Ancient Leather Cloak

Another article on clothing from the Ulster Archaeological Society, Vol 9, pg 294-300, dated 1861/1862, 'Ancient Leather Cloak' by Robert MacAdam. It is unfortunate that the majority of period information about the medieval Irish peoples comes from people who did not live in Ireland or likely ever set foot upon Ireland's soil, but beggars can't be choosers and we must work with what we have. This article deals with bog finds and is an interesting read. You may find it in my Box.net account.
