Will someone please reassure me in that in the third picture down, Richard
is NOT wearing half a William pear on his head?

The pointy shoes get to me, Pansy. I always have visions of the chaps going
up and down stairs sideways, doing the quickstep, like Fred Astaire, swinging
cane and all. Stirring stuff. A real page turner...

Well, hats
of those times *were* pretty silly... I always
wonder if people swooning over historical romance novels imagine their dashing
heroes wearing some of these ;)

I even remember seeing some contemporary illustrations
of men wearing tall hats closely resembling long Burgundian hennins
- alas, I can't find them right now
(I've got hundreds of pictures stored on my computer)...

Phew, thank goodness for that, Eileen. I really was dismayed to think
Richard might have such appalling taste in titfers.

I read that the pointy shoes were all the rage, and some had to wear chains from the tips attached to the knees do they would not fall on each other's toes.
