Please note that I have indeed scanned the photos below from books. I am fully aware that I did not ask for permission to display them on this website, because I need to put up this page to be able to do more research on this subject matter as soon as possible, for the sake of an accurate, authentic resconstruction of Frankish-Kentish costume in the 6th and 7th centuries. Therefore I took liberty to display the pictures, for purely academic research reasons. I shall remove them immediately in case this is wished by the copyright owners. Thank you for your understanding. |
