What was it like?

The world around Château de Thonon, 1435: 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.

In April 1511, some winter garments were so voluminous that they required up to 35 braccia of fabric, making them so heavy that they were difficult to wear.
