/* Headscarves */
==Headscarves==
This style of head covering is frequently depicted in books and worn by re-enactors. To the best of our knowledge there is currently no real evidence for women wearing this style of head covering. Algren in his 1966 book 'The Viking' depicted almost all of his Viking women wearing this type of scarf. Algrem invented this head covering because he believed that "In those days a married woman had to cover her hair." [ALGREN 1966:p.201]. In the absence of any real evidence for head coverings he seems to derived this simple although probably inaccurate article. <br>
