This is my best attempt to create garb for what a Norse woman
would wear around 1000 to 1100 AD.
I am wearing an apron dress. I took
off my turtle brooches and beads since there is always a good chance I
could get my weapon tangled up in such adornment. Blessi and I are
riding in front of historically accurate Norse tents used while
traveling as we participate in a SCA tournament. I am carrying a
quintain lance, which is medieval not Norse.
The second photo shows Blessi
in the saddle blanket I made him based on the Lewis Chessman knights.
In my survey of historic Icelandic riding attire, I am still missing
one major costume style. I'll have to look for public domain pictures
of folks riding horses.
