I <i>Armies and Warfare in the Middle Ages: the English Experience</i> av Michael Prestwich (rasande bra bok förresten) står det bl a:
<blockquote id="quote"><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" id="quote">quote:<hr height="1" noshade id="quote">Early in Edward III's reign some contingents were ordered to wear uniforms, paid for by the local communities. /.../ In some cases, uniforms became quite elaborate. <b>On the Black Prince's 1355 expedition, the men of Cheshire and North Wales wore green and white parti-coloured hats and tunics</b> (min betoning). The development of such garb was associated with the tendency for lords to provide their men with standardised livery robes. The problem of identification in battle was not fully resolved if each lord dressed his men in a distinctive way, and Henry V ordered that 'every man of what estate or condition that he be, of our party, bear a band of St George', much as Edward I's troops had done. /.../ The basic white coat, however, remained the standard wear until the late Tudor period.<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></blockquote id="quote"></font id="quote">
De grön-vita "uniformerna" verkar alltså ha varit specifika för vissa kontingenter.Statistik: Postat av Theo — 25 september 2005, 19:07
