A few are reproductions, but I'm all about getting ideas wherever you can. http://www.housebarra.com/PastTimes/tents/eastern.html Thu, 06 Aug 2009 14:01:51 GMT https://moas.atlantia.sca.org/archive/wsnlinks/link.php?action=detail&id=19905 https://moas.atlantia.sca.org/archive/wsnlinks/comments.php?id=19905 http://midtown.net/dragonwing/col0010.htm Sat, 19 May 2007 23:40:27 GMT https://moas.atlantia.sca.org/archive/wsnlinks/link.php?action=detail&id=15016 https://moas.atlantia.sca.org/archive/wsnlinks/comments.php?id=15016 "A 9th-Century Pup Tent" and "Making a Medieval Single-Pole Pavilion." http://www.daviddfriedman.com/Medieval/miscellany_pdf/Miscellany.htm Sun, 20 Nov 2005 15:55:44 GMT https://moas.atlantia.sca.org/archive/wsnlinks/link.php?action=detail&id=10638 https://moas.atlantia.sca.org/archive/wsnlinks/comments.php?id=10638 A question about Welsh tents on the internet spurred me to see what sort of information might be available on the subject. One response to the question suggested that the Welsh would have no use for tents, given that travelers would be given hospitality at private houses. However this assumes that tents would have been used as we use them in our events: as a home-away-from-home in an ordinary living situation. Literary references in Welsh to tents suggest a different picture: that they were used when large numbers of people had to be sheltered and when the travelers could expect to be met with hostility -- specifically during wartime. As far as I am aware, there are no physical artifacts or even period artistic representations that could shed light on the subject of Welsh tents. However there are a good number of literary references that can provide a context for discussion. http://www.heatherrosejones.com/simplearticles/welshtents.html Sat, 03 Sep 2005 21:40:46 GMT https://moas.atlantia.sca.org/archive/wsnlinks/link.php?action=detail&id=9625 https://moas.atlantia.sca.org/archive/wsnlinks/comments.php?id=9625
