EDITORS COMMENTS
This image from the 14th century transports us back in time to an era of chivalry and nobility. The central figure, dressed as a prince, dons a gipon, or fitted doublet, with intricately piked and soled hose. The knightly girdle, cinched at the waist, adds to his regal and powerful appearance. A dagged mantle, draped over his shoulders, completes his ensemble. To his left stands a nobleman, dressed in a shoulder cape, hood, and cloak. The cape, adorned with rich fabrics and fur trimmings, adds an air of sophistication and wealth. The hood, with its distinctive pointed shape, is a hallmark of medieval nobility. The cloak, worn over the shoulder and fastened at the waist, provides both warmth and protection. To the right, a page attends to the prince's needs, dressed in a wide, short, sleeveless tunic with side vents and funnel sleeves. The tunic, made of a lighter fabric than the prince's and nobleman's garments, reflects the page's lower status. The side vents and funnel sleeves are practical features that allow for ease of movement and flexibility in carrying out his duties. This evocative photograph, taken from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the rich and varied world of medieval fashion. The intricate details of each garment, from the piked hose to the fur-trimmed cape, reveal the care and craftsmanship that went into creating these magnificent costumes. The image also offers a fascinating insight into the social hierarchy of the time, with the prince, nobleman, and page each dressed according to their rank and role in society.
