Introduction. Of the usual Civil Costume of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, excellent examples will be found in the tombs of William of Hatfield, William of Windsor, Blanch dela Tour, and the mourners on the monument of Sir Roger de Kerdeston. One of these mourners, a female, and the figure of the Lady of Sir Miles Stapleton, have long pendant lappets to their sleeves. That of the Judge in Willoughby church [Map], Nottinghamshire, has a tunic to which very full sleeves are attached, and he is girt with a rich ceint, or girdle; an appendage of knights, civilians, and ecclesiastics (when unattired in the sacred vestments), in the fourteenth century.

"Change of clothing every day.

With golden girdles, great an small.'

Plowman's Tale.
