ideas on this type of persona-irish/norse 9-11c
Posted: Mon Sep 16, 2013 8:58 am
Ive done some online research and read through most of the threads on my interests of 9th-11th century ireland, during the reign of brian baru and the viking migration to the island. I am working on a plausible hard kit of leather lamellar with chain underneath, either butted or riveted. i wear a spangen type helmet and have trousers of wool that i gather at the ankle with leather ties. I have posted a picture of my current kit which has a varangian style skirting which i plan to cover with a chain skirt for a faugh effect. Im also going to do the same with my rearbrace area as well to give the effect of half sleaves. I would like to stick to an irish naming if possible with my surname of Ociennede. any help in this regard would be greatly appreciated.
