This is the Kingdom of East Anglia.
We all live in funny crooked houses like this, marry our first cousins, commune with talking wolves, and hunt for green children in the fields at harvest time.

This is the Kingdom of Kent We all live in funny pointy houses like this, fly Spitfires over the White Cliffs of Dover, play cricket all summer because we invented it, and dance with bells on our legs to pubs to drink warm beer

@niall_gooch The English Civil War, like the American one, has been studied to death by obsessives. If there was any evidence of even a single man of sub-Saharan extraction participating in it, we would know. The pro-side cannot reasonably point out any such thing.

The debate over this stuff is so frustrating because the pro- side can reasonably point out that it's not inconceivable that there were possibly three black guys in the New Model Army or whatever. But as everyone really understands, that's not what is going on here.

@Historylecturer The prohibition only applied to Scotland and plenty of posh people there flouted it.
It does refer to particoloured stuff and tartan but only to ban it from being made into Great coats or Upper coats. There was only person who arrested for wearing a tartan uppercoat.

This an excellent thread but I would push it back to the Jacobites, many of whom wore tartan and highland dress as an expression of support for the Stuarts.

Clothes have long been political. 🧵

@Historylecturer Beyond the likelihood being that the majority were in highland dress since there are many letters about shoes during the campaign which certainly suggest they were wearing it.
I contributed a chapter to 'Rebellious Scots to Crush edited by Andrew Bamford about them.

@Historylecturer Three companies of the Argyll militia were on the field - Achnaba's Glenorchy and Melfort's along with Loudoun's (who also wore Highland dress).
The Argyll militia did not actually have a uniform beyond their cockades so it's difficult to know exactly what they wore

@cocteautriplets @NeilBriogaisean Come, come Andy everyone knows that Andrew de Moray was the real hero in the creation of the New Town.
