    1. A new map of Holland and Friesia (land of the Friesians, an autonomous section of Holland). Friesians did not take kindly to being ruled by nobility.

  2. I don't know about the Dutch, but in my book, gentlemen do not wear hats indoors.

    And as a US Marine, we also do not wear "covers" indoors.

    1. Every sservice has its own rules: thankfully the USMC doesn't dictate custom and regulation to the rest!

    3. If I remember my military protocol, the only service member that wears a hat inside is someone that is "armed." Everyone else removes their hats at the doorway threshold.
