A collection of notes about a pair of shoes based on the Oseberg. I believe the information is good, but it is an angelfire site...so have your pop-up blocker ready.

“Ena silkes tröya” – clothing bequests in Finnish medieval wills.
by Piia Lempiäinen
ABSTRACT
This paper studies bequeathing practices and clothing terminology in medieval Finnish wills found from the Diplomatarium Fennicum database and compares them to other Nordic countries. The use of wills as a source for dress and textile studies is discussed and the concept of clothing bequests is examined. The material shows how clothing donations demonstrate the medieval practice of gift-giving, where favours, allegiance, and power were traded and negotiated with tangible objects, such as clothing, that had both monetary as well as symbolic value. After this, clothing terminology is discussed with the help of previous Nordic research and different clothing terms used in the wills are presented and analysed. The study indicates that clothing was bequeathed in the same ways as in other Nordic countries using similar terms. Finally it is suggested that the source-based terminology should be used together with modern neutral terminology especially when the language of the research is different from the language of the sources to accurately communicate the information to others.
