Hello guys and girls,
I'm a re-enactor from over the waterway in London and I have started to try to pile together some information to do a 14th century galloglach and a 14th century Kern impression
I have already purchased Osprey's Gallowglass 1250-1600 and Osprey's Irish wars as well as some PDFs. I have already ordered my padded coat based around effigies from the 14th century and have a mail shirt and Bascinet. There are however some things I'm having trouble with.
What kind of cut did the leine croich have in this period as I have only seen 16th century examples?
What length and what kind of head should the darts be?
What kind of material should my brat be?
Is there any provision for me wearing hoes?
What type of dagger should I be wearing?
Any other info you guys think would be useful.
Many thanks James.
