Men
-
|
wore thigh length tunics and long woolen leggings. Men wore something on their
heads like a cap or hat. Men didn't have to worry about washing their clothes
because their wives did the wash. Men had clothes on for days without the clothing being washed! |
Women
-
|
wore long dresses made linen and wool, too. Women often had a kerchief
also made of wool.
Women had a lot on their Hands so their clothes smelled really bad. Women had to clean their dirty clothes! |

clothing for their families. All

belt. Only rich people had jewel belts, While non-wealthy people had
leather belts. Armor itself is weighed about 20 pounds. That means knights are lucky to
have T-gowns because it would be pretty heavy and uncomfortable. Men can't
just throw away their armor because they needed it to fight.
