Rolf Verberg
I received a Ph.D in physics from the Delft University of Technology in The Netherlands. Since I haven't discovered time travel yet, I did the next best thing and joined the Society for Creative Anachronism. As an independent researcher in experimental archaeology I currently enjoy Viking Age woodworking, warp-weighted loom weaving and tablet weaving.

The base outfits of Their Majesties are based on extant garment pieces found in 10th century Danish Haithabu and Swedish Birka. Both towns were important trading villages of the time, creating exposure to a more diverse culture. His Majesty’s coat is based on garment pieces found in Haithabu that are interpreted as a wrap-around caftan, or klappenrock. His pants are based on earlier period Thorsberg Trousers (without the feet). Her Majesty’s coat is based on a pattern commonly known as the Birka coat.
Her apron dress is based on fabric fragments finds from Haithabu with its top adorned with a tablet woven
brocade inspired by Birka finds. The under and overtunics are extrapolated from fabric fragment finds from both towns. The hoods are based on the well-known 11th century Skjoldehamn find. Unlike the unadorned extant piece, we added 10th century Mammen style embroidery on silk trim to add a bit of Royal flair.
