What was it like?

The world around Olite/Erriberri, 1426: 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.

Men often grew long beards and hair, sometimes styling the tips into curls. Clothing could be layered, with high-status individuals wearing a pellizón, which was a long robe with wide, loose sleeves that could be knotted at the ends.
