What was it like?

The world around 1591: who ruled, who else was alive, how people lived. This is general history, not a record about the family, and every item shows where it comes from.

Seventeenth-century noblewomen's wills show that items like fur-lined coats, velvet dresses, and specific headgear such as caps and wimples were vital assets, sometimes valued higher than silver or jewelry.
