The Weeping Monk’s attire- a summary
Okay so I may have just spent two days studiously researching medieval clothing and comparing it to images of the Weeping Monk (thanks to farfarawaysite and danielsharmanews.com for those great hd images!!), trying to figure what exactly he’s wearing so I can accurately describe it in this very small scene in my Cursed wip in which Gawain has to take off some of his clothes in order to assess the man’s injuries after he passed out from pain. #noregrets
I found out some interesting things (at least this history nerd found it interesting) so here it all is under the cut. (It’s more interesting than it sounds, bare with me. This got looooong.)
I apologize that this is not at all remotely whump related but I’ve been talking about him a lot on this blog and it’s related to the whump fic I’m writing so…. yeah.
Under a cut for the length
Note: I am by no means an expert so I apologize if anything is incorrect
@brooklymw Ahh I'm so glad to hear that!! I'd hoped it might be helpful :D
As for Gawain you can totally do your own research of course but I can help with that a little! So Gawain is gonna be wearing some similar items as Lancelot so in researching Lancelot I learned a lot about Gawain as well.
Putting under a cut because I don’t know how to be concise apparently
