"ROYAL" CLOAK: I'm still deciding whether I want to include these as a category. Several different styles of cloaks and mantles depicted in the Album Amicorum of a German Soldier, 1595, including La consorte del Castelan di Roma, le Ceuallier de Angleterre an son habit de lordre (an English Knight of the Garter), and a man in a short cloak.January in the Great Book of Hours of Anne of Brittany, c.A queen from Jacques de Cessoles' Liber de Moribus hominum from 1480-1485 (BNF fr.Griselda marries Gualteri di Saluzzo in The Decameron (BNF Fr.1166), end of the 14th century or beginning of the 15th century The king and the queen in the Liber de Moribus hominum (BNF Fr.Eleanor Bohun, Duchess of Gloucester, d.Margaret, Baroness Willoughby d'Eresby, d.Uta (see detail) and Reglindis at Naumberg Cathedral, c.See Courtly Culture: Literature and Society in the High Middle Ages by Joachim Bumke for a discussion of this "knightly" pose.) (Note the prevalence of the pose with one hand, usually the right hand, on the cord, or the thumb or fingers entwined in the cord, especially in the examples from the 12th to early 14th centuries. This seems to be the source for the "half-circle" cloaks seen in re-enactment. This style of cloak is the only style which appears on women some men wear it as well, especially in ceremonial contexts. MANTLES: A style of cloak with closure at center front, usually by means of a cord (or, in some descriptions, a string of pearls) attached to metal mounts ("ouches"?) attached to the edge of the cloak along both sides of the chest.

The allegory of the harp, Dit de la harpe (BNF Fr.This seems to be the source imagery for the "three-quarter" cloaks seen in re-enactment, although an extant example ( the Bocksten Man's cloak) is a half-circle.
This style of cloak seems to be the descendant of the Greek chlamys. There are some cloaks worn with separate hoods, either over or under the cloak.īUTTON-SHOULDER CLOAK: A style of cloak (apparently exclusively worn by men) closed on the right shoulder, usually with buttons. There are very few examples of hooded cloaks just two women wearing hooded black cloaks in the Manesse Codex (the only black cloaks in the manuscript). I've attempted to organize these by type, but the cloak taxonomy below is my own invention, and may not reflect standard thought on the subject. For information on making cloaks, see these links. The focus of this linkspage is on cloaks in secular contexts (rather than including biblical mantles, ecclesiastical copes, etc.).
