Caroline Paterson opens with a discussion of dress and textiles from roughly two hundred early medieval pagan Norse graves in Scotland. She uses a variety of sources to recover the monarchs' own perspectives and intentions in relation to the visual and material aspects of their weddings, including James VI's personal writing on dress, eyewitness accounts and records of the incredible expense outlaid by the royal household on wedding-related dress and textiles. Moving the subject of dress accessories to Perthshire, Mark Hall explores the apotropaic and religious powers of dress fittings, jewellery, horse accessories, seal matrices, pilgrimage souvenirs and coins.
