Aarhus University Press

A richly illustrated glimpse into the magnificent collection of seventeenth-century men's dress from the Danish kings' wardrobes Ten Kings' Clothes: Royal Danish Dress, 1596-1863&nbsp;presents the&nbsp;unparalleled collection of seventeenth-century male dress, belonging to the Danish kings from Christian IV to Frederik VII. The incomparable research showcases&nbsp;the collection of each monarch, put into context against the backdrop of pivotal moments in Danish history, the networks of supply, and the production and circulation of luxury goods.&nbsp;Richly illustrated with portraits, prints, and the stunning garments, extended entries and hand-drafted patterns allow a detailed and technical appreciation of each item. The historical garments tell the story not only of the kings' coronations and weddings but also of everyday life at court, including the contributions of tailors, embroiderers, valets, portrait artists, castle stewards, and laundresses. The book also includes a foreword written by Her Majesty Queen Margrethe II of Denmark. &nbsp;

Grauballe Man was about 34 years old when he met his death. He died from a deep cut to the throat. His right shinbone was also fractured. He undoubtedly suffered a violent end - he was executed - and was then laid naked in a water-filled peat cutting in the bog. The ultimate sacrifice was made that day around 290 BC - a human life - to the supernatural powers or in the service of some other urgent cause. Few finds from Denmark's prehistory enjoy the attention and interest afforded by the public and the media to Grauballe Man, who is exhibited at Moesgaard Museum, south of Aarhus, Denmark. With this book in hand it is not difficult to imagine a person of flesh and blood who wandered around during the first centuries of the Iron Age, long before Caesar was born. Archaeologist Pauline Asingh of Moesgaard Museum presents the very latest discoveries about Grauballe Man, his life, his afterlife, his bog and the interpretation of him and his time. In telling his story she brings prehistory dramatically to life.

Eighteen papers devoted to discussion of the `representativity of archaeological remains from Danish Prehistory'.
