I've recently written an article on the history of the parasol through
the 16th and early 17th centuries.
Over the last 4 or 5 years, reenactors and faire people have repeatedly

their use for at least as long, but I

One minor point; Sir Henry Unton would be referred to as Sir Henry, not Sir

the wedding of Frederik II and Sofie, his queen to be.
They reconstrukted her weddingdress, and this link only shows a poor picture

Its after a portrait, and i think they did a very fine job.
Hi sorry.
There are more pictures of the dress if you go to:

The first gives pictures of the opening of the exhibition with pictures of

Other old clothes can be recycled by dropping them off at Animal
Shelters to be used as rags or bedding for the shelter animals.
Stained and raggy towels and other textiles are also useful to the
