What did kings wear before?

Answer 1

What did kings wear in the middle ages?Well, they wore robes with rings or jewelry. They were usually made with silk and sometimes had fur on top. They also sometimes carried purses, or wore a cap. Their shoes were colorful, and had a pointed, curled toe. Also, they would wear a combination of shirt, belt, pants/socks, and a cloak.

The queen's wardrobe was much more complex. Only queens and princesses were allowed to wear velvet, satin, or ermine. They were also the only people allowed to wear expensive veils. Their gowns were usually made of silk. Their shoes consisted of silk or velvet, with leather coverlets for when they went outside. Their hairstyles changed through time. They wore high headdresses, long braids, buns, covered their hair, had it loose, and others throughout time. They wore tight lacings to make themselves thinner with better posture. Gowns and sleeves were long and trailing, usually made of silk. The skirts were decorated with complex embroidery. They even had makeup, consisting of white lead powder, which they put on their faces, and perfumes from the east.

Both genders wore surcoats, and metals such and gold, and silver, plus many gems such as pearls and others adorned all clothing worn by royalty.

The cloth that David wore was a large weave type, you could easily see the strings in the material much like yarn. The colors were not as bright as you see today due to the natural dyes from plants and animals. As a result they faded very quickly and had a strong oder to them. During colder times he would have worn animal hides with the fur in and some out for decoration. Much was one large piece and not the pants and shirts we see today.

His crown and jewerly was far cruder that you see today, not the smooth perfection we take for granted. Much was beaten by hand to form shapes.

Most of us would be shocked to see how crude and basic the clothing was by the common man but even royality of the time wouldn't even come close to the clothing we see in the past 150 years.
