Has anyone been watching this series (on TLC)? I'm sure the earlier chapters will be re-run later (perhaps a marathon or something; TLC does that on occasion). Anyway, it's rather interesting how many soldiers of old had long hair. Not just the German tribes and Vikings, but the knights, as well as soldiers from the 15th-18th centuries. There was even this one Civil War soldier with a ponytail nearly to his waist (this was an actor in a reconstruction, but still)!
YES!!
And many (most) had lenghty beards, too.... Wonder how they kept it all clean and untanged!!!! LOL!!
They didn't, they only bathed once a year
