The Costume of French Citizen
The
costume is loosely based on illuminations in René d'Anjou -
Livre des tournois (1460), Alte
Armatur und Ringkunst (Copenhagen, Kongelige Bibliothek, Hans
Talhoffers, Thott 290 2, 1459) and
Grimani Breviary (1450) manuscripts. The costume consists of
underwear, shirt, dark green woolen, red woolen paltock and yellow
wollen doublet with cutted sleeves. Similar sleeves can be seen in
Talhoffer (f.96v, 96r, 129v), high shoes in Livre des tournois
(f.11) and a hat (f19). The dress accessories are: belt with
embroidered golden fleur-de-lis (done by the owner), leather
pouches, ring and the necklace.
