[Namron] Period hair coverings

[Schahara Martines]

Thank you so much. This was exactly the information I was looking for on circlets/coronets. I spend my life (school life anyway) on the internet, but my brain was just not in working order when I was trying to find this info.
Sincerely,
Caterina

The only restrictions would be the ones in Kingdom Law.  The keyword
is "sumptuary".  I believe what you'd like to wear is referred to
as a
fillet:

| Section 8 : Fillets
| A. Any member of the populace may wear a metal fillet not to exceed
½ inch in width.
| B. Any metal-looking band across the front of the head is a coronet,
if it exceeds
| the stated dimension or is decorated in any of the ways noted above.
| - Ansteorra Kingdom Law, Article IX:  Coronet Sumptuary Law

You'd need to look at the earlier parts of the Article to see what
constitutes "...in any of the ways noted above".  Ansteorra Law is
available at

http://seneschal.ansteorra.org/forms/Kingdom_Law_Jan09.pdf

Again, just search for "sumptuary" or "fillets"...you
don't need to
read the whole thing.

Care,
Bubba
