Légende

King and knight, late 12th century, (1843). The king wears a long dalmatica (tunic) ornamented with fleur de lys, and mantle thrown back to show his jewelled collar and girdle. The knight seems to be a crusader in coat and hood of mail with a silk surcoat ornamented with crosses. The surcoat came from the east and helped stop armour getting too hot from sun's rays. His legs are clad in chausses, with spurs. Illustration from Dresses and Decorations of the Middle Ages from the Seventh to the Seventeenth Centuries, by Henry Shaw, (London, 1843).
