Let me know if you need any help figuring out the different fabrics.<br /><br />Thank you for the kind words, Christy! I think your love of jewels must come directly from Edward. ;)<br /><br />Great to see you here, A! Delighted to hear you&#39;ve discovered this period of history and that you&#39;re enjoying the blog.Alianorehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00397714441908100576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19545049.post-43495793742377208452009-06-05T16:34:54.459+02:002009-06-05T16:34:54.459+02:00Thank you so much for the work you do. I am addicted to your blog. I used to ignore this period of history and just accepted the stories of the weak king and the she-wolf. Recently, I found out that Edward II, Isabella, Roger Mortimer, and Robert the Bruce are my direct ancestors. I am giving Edward II and Isabella a chance and now I am obsessed with this period of history.A Leehttp://www.ambaronline.com/homemakernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19545049.post-3769270760858277342009-06-05T06:29:53.011+02:002009-06-05T06:29:53.011+02:00Cloth-of-gold mantle with pearls??? Awesome. My parents were never much into jewelry, but I must have some throwback genes -- all the way to Edward and Isabella. I love pearls. I could deck out like a Mardi Gras tramp, but all in pearls of white, blue, pink, caramel, black... (And I prefer gold to silver.) <br /><br />Good to have you back, and I look forward to more of your terrific research. Besides, I like your writing voice: warm and personal, not didactic and dry. Thanks again for your dedication to breathing life and humor back into those dusty bones.Christy K Robinsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05988458745832012138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19545049.post-26251944381460862012009-06-03T23:38:22.399+02:002009-06-03T23:38:22.399+02:00Welcome back! Sorry about your horrid trip. Oh well...<br /><br />Love the sound of orfiller! Sounds &#39;awful&#39; but was no doubt magnificent.<br /><br />I am wondering what the different fabric names mean, and what their modern equivalents would be. Must check it out.....kate plantagenetnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19545049.post-85338087546281945822009-06-02T13:49:35.058+02:002009-06-02T13:49:35.058+02:00You did well to get this up after your journey from hell! I would still be cowering under a table somewhere waiting for the men in white coats.<br /><br />Interesting that the money in the sacks (Arundel) was less than labelled - miscounting or pilfering I wonder? He certainly did like silver, didn't he!<br /><br />Ed's stuff all sounds beautiful - he had very good taste when it came to material things. Interesting too, that he trusted Swanland with all that stuff - says something of their relationship.Lady D.http://www.blogger.com/profile/08207281934232383811noreply@blogger.com
