EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures a Norman king in ceremonial costume, showcasing the intricate details of medieval fashion. The coats worn by kings and nobility during this time were not uniform in length, with some trailing on the floor while others were fastened to the chest. The Norman kings and nobility often wore two tunics of equal length, one layered on top of the other, possibly made of luxurious cotton fabric. The tradition of wearing long tunics with coats that fell to the heels originated from Germany and was later adopted by the Saxons. By the late 11th century and early 12th century, both men and women donned these elaborate garments adorned with embroidered borders. This hand-colored copper engraving from "Images historiques des costumes des principaux peuples de l'Antiquite et du Middle Ages" by Robert Von Spalart provides a glimpse into the opulent attire worn by royalty centuries ago. The regal presence of the Norman king in his ceremonial ensemble is truly captivating, offering a window into a bygone era filled with grandeur and sophistication.
