Will you be doing a video on buildings people live in for the period, in the book The Irish Cottage by Marion McGarry, it talks about a timber famine in ireland which happen after Cromwell came to ireland, which says that ireland was full of timber. The English colonists cut the majority of the trees down, to kill of the likes of wood kerns in forest. This lead to the development of the irish cottage because of the shortage of timber.
The felling of Irish forests the more I read into the more complex it gets but that will be a few videos on its own. As for housing I will be doing some Collab videos with the smoothgetafix guys in the next few months who built a medieval house in Ireland so stay tuned for that.
Another great video. I'd imagine that they could have tied them with the flaps meeting over the top? I've seen a few period images (Hans Holbein) of English Tudors doing this...
Do you have any information on the Irish Chieftains headgear, I think it's called a min. A conical hat with feathers up the side. I've seen a couple of pictorial examples. a painting of an O'Neill chieftain and a woodcut of a MacSweeney chieftain from Derrycke's Images of Ireland. TIA
@@petergurry9652 go to their actual website they have a pdf all about it. I am unable to post links on youtube but if you go there you will find all the information on it.
Some were preferred and some were status symbols due to their rarity. If you see my Leine video saffron dye especially was a big status symbol even though there were other cheaper dyes that would give you a yellow.
No. This is a rare chestnut that keeps popping up. It is based on a much earlier Brehon Law that had no follow up and no validations and lasted a very short time if it were ever enacted. However, as the Rambling Kern has pointed out, a natural order was wrought due to rarity and even availability.
Yes there are indeed similar hats across Europe this one specifically is felted wool so additional layers would not really be needed except maybe for style.

That’s a great looking hat !!! Perfect for modern day winter wear. Thank you for another wonderful video.
Yes it might be one of those pieces that could transcend into modern fashion 😉

entirely possible although the flaps are short on this replica so it might be hard to do.
Excellent video as always thank you
Thank you
Great video as always! I definitely want one of those for my kit and to just wear for the winter months.
Sally is the woman for you I may commission a few bits from her later in the year
We were only in the museum last week. They still have it on display. Great video again!
Ah brilliant it's been a while since I was in I need to get back to have a look around.
@@ramblingkern it's getting a bit of a revamp at the moment so some of the displays are closed but still plenty to see.
It looks similar to some of the bonnets/coifs you see in some Landesknecht woodcuts.
it does indeed there are a wide range of interesting bonnets across Europe at the time.
@@ramblingkern I followed the link to the blog post you mentioned. Excellent information, thanks for sharing.
@@gozer87 my pleasure
Sadly the Toadspool tailer page seem to be down or removed. But thank for all your info. I am binging all your Kern videos today.
Oh thats a shame it was a brilliant resource. Thank you so much I really appreciate the support.
Just 500 subs left! WOW! lets do this!!!
It does have some resemblance to an arming cap.
It does indeed.
What do you think of the validity of using this bonnet for a medieval kit?
There are various similar bonnets that are earlier the only difference would be that they usually have a cord closure and not a button.
Would you do a video on the clothing of Irish sailors at the time. Greetings from NJ
Sure I will do some research and see what I can dig up but the sources from the time are patchy at best.
@@ramblingkern I figured but it would be interesting to know, because at some times in history sailors had a sort of subculture
@@Strawberry-12. for sure I will see what I can find.

Yes you should check out the Wilde irishe guys website they have a good article on their resources section all about it.
I posted on their page but for some reason my post didn't appear. And I never got a reply when I queried it.

I’m basically looking for a period accurate beanie. Is this the move?
@@ImJEllisAF in an Irish context this would definitely be the closest but it would also depend on the period you are most interested in
Would the hat have been knitted? How would they have made it?
This one was made of felt and then sown where needed.
Mate can i ask what the Ogham says on your sword design.Thanks
It spells ceithern which is the Irish word for Kern or soldier/ warrior
@@ramblingkern Cheers.I have ale killed tattooed on my arm ha ha
Didn`t the different colours worn say about your status in society of the time?
Some were preferred and some were status symbols due to their rarity. If you see my Leine video saffron dye especially was a big status symbol even though there were other cheaper dyes that would give you a yellow.
@@ramblingkern Ta will do

That's more of a do rag or coif than a hat or cap in and of itself. Historically, people across Europe often wore additional head covering over these.
