Pants for soldiers and kings

Don't put on your clothes
made from different substances,
made of wool and linen together.

Pay attention, in what lush, but short pants the artist depicted him ...

The history of clothing. Last time we looked at the topic of stockings, which were worn by both men and women as pants in the Middle Ages. They were called chasses and looked like Indian leggins, which were assigned the English name leggings (leggins). That is, separately sewn trousers, not connected to each other. In Europe, they were sewn very narrow and, like knitted stockings, covered the entire leg to the waist. At the same time they served as footwear, as they had a leather sole. But such stockings were worn mainly by nobles. And the reason was purely commonplace. It was on top of them that chain mail stockings were put on (also highways), and later - metal armor. Underwear - bra panties, tucked into the tracks and gathered on the belt, and the tracks themselves were attached to it with straps.

It is interesting that the Scythians also wore tight-fitting trousers. In any case, it was in them that the Greeks portrayed them on their black and red-lacquered painted dishes. OK. 520-500 BC BC e. Master Epictetus.

And here is the legendary Amazon as seen by the Greek master of painting. She is wearing real trousers, holding a shield with an attached patterned fabric and a quiver behind her back. The torso is protected by the classic Greek thorax - a linen carapace with shoulder pads. Ancient Greek Attic white alabastron, circa 470 BC e.

But what was the common people wearing at that time in Europe?

At best, the same bre, but knee-length, and during summer work the peasants in the field often tucked them higher, pulling them with lower strings to the belt. After the labors of the righteous, they lowered them below the knees and tied them with these strings already there. In the cold season, they wore knitted woolen stockings up to the knees, and on top of all this - caftans, again up to the knees.

Interesting information about the clothes of that time, especially the folk, is given to us by the famous "The Magnificent Book of Hours of the Duke of Berry" (or "The Magnificent Book of Hours of the Duke of Berry") - an illustrated manuscript of the XNUMXth century.

It contains a cycle "Seasons" of 12 illustrations depicting entertainments of the nobility and ... peasant works against the background of ancient medieval castles. This source is very valuable, since we know that the Duke Jean of Berry commissioned its design for the miniaturists brothers Paul, Jean and Erman Limburg in 1410-1411, but it remained unfinished after their death, as well as the death of their customer in 1416, after which in the calendar part of the manuscript was supplemented by an anonymous master in the 1440-1450s.

Here is one of his miniatures, look at it carefully ...

"December". Hunting scene. On it, hunters from the duke's retinue, but clearly commoners, hunted down a deer. They wear long caftans with puffy sleeves with slits, short pants and stockings - for the left hunter, while the right one doesn't even have them, flaunts with bare legs.

"July". There are two reapers working on the field. One - in a shirt and very short shorts, on the other - apparently, also similarly short shorts, but stockings on his legs. And both are wearing wide-brimmed, most likely straw hats for sun protection.

And this is "February". The miniature was painted after 1416. And it is especially interesting, but it should be viewed at high magnification. On the lumberjack at the top right, we again see short pants and knee-length stockings, but on a man or a young man warming himself by the fire at the bottom left behind a woman in a blue dress with a white underskirt, in addition to outerwear, knee-length stockings are worn, but there is no underwear at all, so that all the genitals stick out from him. Nor is it on the girl sitting behind him, who ... too ... everything is open. Looks like both him and her, their "lower regions" are very frozen!

Be that as it may, the time has come when not only knights in armor cladding their legs began to enter the battlefields, but also peasant and burgher infantry.

And the protective armor of the infantry at the turn of the Middle Ages and the New Age was a jacque - a quilted jacket lined with bone or metal plates. But the jacket was short, and it did not cover the bre. Fighting in linen shorts was simply indecent and inconvenient, and wearing knightly highways was not according to rank, and it was not affordable either.

Therefore, the infantrymen put on short pants, called breeches (English breeches or britches) - pants tightly covering the calves below the knees, made wide on the hips, protruding to the sides. The Breeches have been around since 1205. The word bréc or breoc (meaning "bre") is Old English, and before that came to England from Old French. Plural of bróc, meaning clothing for the feet.

Spanish infantrymen of the 1th century: 2 - a musketeer, dressed simultaneously in a jacque jacket, breeches and on top of them - plundra pants, 3 - a cavalry shooter with an arquebus, XNUMX - a spearman wearing a bourguignot helmet and a cuirass with plate armor for arms. Everyone is wearing stockings below the knee!

They began to be worn by arquebusiers and pikemen of different countries, but the Swiss mercenaries and German landsknechts excelled in wearing these baggy trousers.

But what the armor depicted in this portrait looks like, in reality, we can see in the next photo ...

"There is no bird more colorful" - wrote Erasmus of Rotterdam (1469-1536) about the landsknechts, noting their bright costumes and spectacular feathers with which they adorned their hats.

The landsknechts' clothes were distinguished by a special style - “puffs and slits” with a large number of slits and puffy sleeves. They wore all kinds of trousers, but they always decorated them with slits, and on the front of the pants they attached a brageta (that was the name of the bag for the genitals), often stuffed with cotton wool, and even a wallet with money was put into this bragueta!

The clergy were horrified by the protruding braguets, but the landsknechts did not pay attention to this, because the emperor Maximilian I himself allowed them to dress so pretentiously, who granted the landsknechts freedom from the laws regulating the appearance of clothing, which his other subjects had to strictly obey.

“Their lives are so short and bleak that gorgeous clothing is one of their few pleasures. I'm not going to take it away from them. "

- once declared the emperor.

And Henry VIII, King of England, even began to imitate them in dress ...

However, the fashion for the landsknechts' clothes touched not only kings ...

Around 1523, knightly armor in the style of a Landsknecht costume was made for Baron Wilhelm, the eldest son of Kaspar von Rogendorf (1481-1541), and apparently a very big fashionista. Manufacturer - famous weapons master from Augsburg Kohlmann Helmschmid (1471-1532), engraved decor by Daniel Hopfer (1471-1536).

The clothes of the sworn enemies of the Landsknechts, the Swiss, were also very bright and colorful, but still not so pretentious!

Swiss guard of the French kings: 1 - the royal guardsman of 1507 in armor that fits the legs and in a cuirass, 2 - the guardsman of 1507 in the highway and a miparty costume, 3 - the Swiss guardsman of 1520. Also in a "miparti" suit, but on the hips so-called "Spanish pants", introduced into fashion by the Spaniards back in the 4th century, 1520 - captain of the Swiss guard in 5 under Francis I, 1559 - captain of the Swiss guard under Henry II in 6, 1571 - under Charles IX in 7, 1580 - under Henry III in XNUMX. It is clearly seen how the fashion for military suits of the Swiss guard changed in the XNUMXth century.

By the way, the baggy trousers were also convenient for the riders of the heavy cavalry, who replaced the knights on the battlefield. They began to be worn with high, long boots and used for riding. In addition, they were a good cushioning pad on the thighs under the three-quarter armor.

It is interesting that the fashionable trousers with slits "a la landsknecht" were not only sewn from fabric, but also ... knitted. Moreover, even the noblest nobility did not disdain such knitted pants!

Here, for example, is the photo below, on it pants with an impressive size braguet are tied, although inside they have a strong lining!

Then they went to war like to a holiday.

For example, the same landsknechts spent significant sums of their salary on clothing. Other soldiers also tried to keep up with them, which is why, say, the same arquebusiers and musketeers of the XNUMXth century look so bright and colorful.

It should be noted that it was in the XNUMXth century that many changes took place in clothing, both civilian and military.

"Spanish pants" became widespread (English trunk hose - short spherical pants with a thick lining), which were sewn from a smooth or patterned expensive fabric, had a double quilted lining under it, which was stuffed with cotton wool, chopped horsehair, or even just hay or ... sawdust.

The front was usually completed with a codpiece and were very uncomfortable. However, the third estate did not recognize them categorically, preferring longer pants, pantaloons. However, the fashion for Spanish pants in Western Europe lasted until the XNUMXth century. And to replace the "Spanish pants" came baggy plundras, which appeared at the end of the XNUMXth century.

By the way, today the Swiss guards guarding the Vatican look as historic as they did before.

Pikemen of the XVI century: 1. Italian pikeman, 1500 Instead of a hat (bonnet), they could wear a barbut helmet or a simple headdress in the form of a bowler hat. 2. Swiss pikeman, 1510. His infantry half-armor is typical of the time. It consists of a bib and a backrest, but, in addition, it is equipped with two small side plates that covered the sides and were fixed to the backrest with hinges. 3. Swiss Pikeman, 1530. He is wearing captured armor, from which he removed his shoulder pads, an unnecessary spear hook and leggings to maintain the desired flexibility. Its pike is equipped with a reflective disc called the brise-perspective. 4. German pikeman, 1555. His sword is an Italian schiavona. It was at this time that the pants reached the limit of possible extravagance. 5. 1570 Breastplates, with more or less ornaments, were in use until the middle of the 6th century, but then they began to be produced of such poor quality that the plate skirt became a single piece, with imitated plates and rivets, and was stamped with one press. blow! 1582. XNUMX The breastplate (corselet) lost their shoulder pads. A helmet without a visor and armor already testifies to the imminent decline of plate craft ...

Know, however, still wanted to stand out in every way possible, including pants. And she also did not want to part with the traditional tracks, which were very beautifully wrapped around her legs.

The result of a compromise between the presence of trousers and the preservation of the shosses became plundras (German pluderhosen: pludern - to protrude, to make them bulging; hosen - trousers) - short, baggy-looking men's trousers, sewn from cloth, velvet or brocade, with vertical slits through which one could see lining, therefore their other name, slang - "pants with stuffing." It was they who replaced the very uncomfortable "Spanish pants", amicably ridiculed not only by commoners, but also by the famous Spanish writers of that era.

In this picture, he is depicted just in plundra!

Plundras can without exaggeration be attributed to the most extravagant phenomena in the history of the costume. The weirder they looked, the simpler, however, they had a cut.

They differed from the previous trousers in size, cut very wide and gathered in thick gathers around the leg. These pants extended to mid-thigh or knee-length and allowed to show the legs in tight-fitting stockings. Despite all their impracticality, from the second half of the XNUMXth century they became part of the European palace or military costume, and in Poland, where they were called pludry, they were worn in the XNUMXth and XNUMXth centuries.

Naturally, new armor was needed for the new pants. For example, with lamellar legguards, lying just on the plundra, as in the ceremonial portrait of King Henry IV of Bourbon by Frans Purbus the Younger (1569-1622).

But we will be more interested in another portrait of Henry IV of Bourbon. Written around 1610 by the same Frans Pourbus the Younger from the Louvre collection. It depicts the king in typical cuirassier armor in "three quarters"

Over time, these pants began to stretch downward, they more and more resemble melons, and have already begun to cover the knee. And they themselves were no longer so plump, and the slots, in particular, in the XNUMXth century were no longer decorated.

Buttons sewn on the side at the seams very often served as decoration. Interestingly, the custom of sewing buttons or beads at the seams is extremely ancient, which has come to us from the depths of centuries. In the famous Sungir burial found in the Vladimir region, skeletons about 34 years old were found covered with thousands of beads made of mammoth bones. Moreover, their position just indicated that the beads were the decoration of the seams of the clothes of the buried!

Illustration by Denis Gordeev for the novel by A. Dumas "The Three Musketeers": "Athos gets a certificate of protection from my lady." Pay attention to his pants. They have become longer and are decorated with buttons at the seams!

As for the cuts, which the Landsknechts loved to decorate their clothes and pants with, they sank into oblivion together ... with the Landsknechts themselves, and the clothes of soldiers and civilians became simpler once again.

So already at the end of the reign of the "sun king" Louis XIV, the costumes of his courtiers and his soldiers looked completely different from at the beginning of his reign. In general, the fashion for breeches (or culottes, as they were called in France), that is, rather narrow pants to the knees, lasted an exceptionally long time ...

Well, he is also picky in the choice of working clothes "camouflage", although even here the most important thing is not the style, but the fabric.

Anton, what if the tastes of “Gaul in trousers”, but “Galia in a toga” have become firmly established. It would be indescribable happiness to wrap up in six square meters of snow-white fabric, put on felt boots, a hat with earflaps and go to scrape the snow near the house !!!
Not at the call of my heart and December outside the window, I personally vote for "Shaggy Gaul" nafig-nafig, tea is not Greece and Rome, but the Riphean mountains, where white flies and griffins live !!!

the term "trousers", appeared on the territory of the current high fashion, in Cisalpine Gaul, the capital of which is Milan.

Julius Caesar, heading to Cisalpine Gaul, believed that he was going to conquer the savages, and when he arrived, he found flourishing trading cities. Apparently, intelligence was not working well.

Good morning, dear colleagues, and have a nice day! )))
Or is it already day?
There was such a knock that I went to Yandex at 23:45 pm and saw "Agile" blazing. I looked at the fire and felt myself burn out from the inside with rage. And I burned out like this until 4 in the morning, woke up at 9 - this was not the case with me for a long time! And now, finally coming to my senses, I hasten to admire the plundras of Ulrich III - wow, bubbles! )))

[Kozak Za Bugra]

Hello, I agree, it's good that this tribute to fashion is left behind, although I must admit that a wallet near the sacred place in the "bragueta" is a very convenient thing for protecting small property from pickpockets, unless it helps from a pervert.
But more than gulfs, I am surprised by these ahem ... protective equipment of armor in intimate places.

Codpiece, garters, this is not any decoration, but a simple necessity. Like most of all other details, from the buttons in the seams to the braguetas. There, in the engraving, there are no "short pants", this is a loincloth. How was it different? Lack of seams.
Two-piece pants and everything else was due to the still weak development of metallurgy, and the weaving business too. Imagine that your most precious thing is rubbing along a seam made with a needle, almost as thick as a little finger, and with a thread of two millimeters, which is also uneven. About such a seam (and you need more than one), you will tear your favorite to pieces! It's a pity ... Involuntarily you will start to fence brageta in order to stuff something softer there.
The same caused the breeches, and other ball-shaped pants, and other wild styles. So that the seams are as small as possible, and so that they do not touch the skin very much. And then they will take everything away. So the clothes were gradually simplified, as it became possible to make threads thinner and more even, and, most importantly, needles! A sewing needle has always cost insane money, because steel was used for it from the best, and making them is not easy for a blacksmith. In general, the needles went on a par, or even ahead of the weapon. A thick sword - a thick needle, a hefty bragueta. Thin rapier - the needle is ten times thinner, tight-fitting styles. The leading role in clothing was played, of course, by metallurgy) Of course, do not expect such generalizations from Mr. Shpakovsky, so we had to intervene a little.

[Kote Pan Kokhanka]

If, seriously, the film is replete with bloopers, inconsistencies and roughness. But he entered and as soon as he entered, becoming in the post-Soviet space not even a classic adaptation of the novel by A. Dumas, but a reinforced concrete anchor “as it was” sometimes challenging the “truth” of the book itself !!!

[Crowe]

Exactly! And "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson"! Even the British recognized Vasily Livanov as the incarnation of a detective, despite the same bloopers, inconsistencies and roughness. And the film "Quiet Flows the Don" - the same story! Pyotr Glebov is not even a Cossack, and neither is Bystritskaya, but how they did it! Masterpiece! By the way, in this case, the film did not even spoil the book at all, it only added color to the great work of art! In my opinion, this is almost the only example of this, usually books are more interesting than films, but not in this case!

Your truth.
Is it in a movie or a book?

[Phil77]

Well, controversial, very controversial. Example. The story of Matisson and the film "based on her."

[LisKat2]

"I just added colors," after all, this is true.
When I read "Quiet Don" I had a mixed attitude towards Melekhov: I was angry that Natasha had neglected for the sake of Aksinia. Already an adult I saw "Quiet Don" and the scene where Melikhov buries Aksinia, struck me. Once again I read the first book: "Quiet Don" and realized how deeply Melikhov loved Aksinia!

[Phil77]

Oh, Katya! The main thing in this book is love? By the example of his characters, the author showed a rift, a rupture in the LIFE of people. Do you understand? Hence the throwing of Grigory, yes, damn it, not only him! Who is he? Cossack? Red? White? How to live? Love? Well, it also has a place to be.

[LisKat2]

Sergei, I remember Malakhov's throwing. Remember how he dreamed that there were no whites and reds?
But for me the main thing is: feelings, and the rest will follow

[Phil77]

Melekhov !!!! Malakhov is not capable ... of throwing himself out of the TV box.

[Mordvin 3]

What other Malakhov?

[Phil77]

As for some Englishmen who were touched by our production of Sherlock. So, sir. Livanov was cunning! They have a small community of Holmes lovers there. And it was they who sent him a "letter" that he is the very, very, very, and the fact that Sherlock Holmes is smoother than him no. And never will. And he? Well, PR is superfluous, right? That's the whole story ... about Livanov-Holmes. There is also an old TV show "The Dogs of the Baskervilles", right there! Nikolay Volkov, how good it is! She is on YouTube.

I don’t know, in my youth I saw a magnificent French film of 1961 with the magnificent Mylène Demongeot as Milady, and I simply don’t perceive our "musketeers", it is impossible to see the French in them.

Of course, I'm talking about the main rivals and opponents.

I read somewhere that the form of the Vatican Swiss guards was invented by Michelangio. But whether it is true or not, I will not say.

[Fat]

And do not say! Half is true. The fact is that the mercenaries had a "color", over time, stuck. 400 Leo fidelity promotes tradition.

And come on, Andrei Borisovich, in more detail. About the second half?
Greetings!

[Fat]

Greetings! I'm not ready for more details yet. Well, shouldn't you fill the ground with rumors? The Swiss have their own legends.
But personally, it seems to me that the Italic mercenaries turned to the popes with such an ass that they had to seek protection from foreigners

However, it can be assumed that "the artist sees this way."

[3x3zsave]

The fact is that without reference to architectural dominants on this miniature, unlike others, it is difficult to attribute the depicted area. This could very well be the south of France.
Pay attention that on the miniature "December" all the trees are foliated, albeit yellow

Life is hard, especially when my other half is hurrying me up today. In those distant years, in an easy one - 45 seconds to get ready on the floor, 5 minutes to line up on the parade ground, 20 minutes - on the parade ground in gear.
Although there was a "good" signal "for the fortress", the main thing to use it was to arrive in 20 minutes to the duty unit, and in what (at least in what the mother gave birth). Only out of laziness from this, it was possible to be in a vest on bare feet in slippers on the roof, a hostel in the rain. And cook there for an hour or two.
Otherwise, the police uniform of those years was quite diverse and comfortable. The field was on the buttons, pea jackets had already appeared. The return to buttons came in the mid-00s. Personally, I think it's a step back.

In "July" the reapers have in their hands an almost Arkhangelsk pink salmon scythe, which was mowed, now almost no longer mowed, on islands, on slopes and other inconveniences. If the "scythe" on gasoline or electricity does not buzz into the hand, as in summer residents, then in the hands is almost always a Lithuanian scythe with a long handle with a braid. Which is understandable, to mow pink salmon - the back begins to ache in half an hour, when mowing with a Lithuanian, the back is straight, even an hour of mowing without a break.

[CHEREDA73]

Good morning everybody!
What struck me after reading the article was the inconvenience and impracticality of clothing. They even thought of hay and sawdust :)
The fashion of the landsknechts for clothes with cuts somewhere echoes the fashion of the Caucasian scouts for torn clothes.

[depressant]

Well, these gentlemen who stuffed their pants with hay and sawdust - they didn't work! )))
As for the peasants, all of them in the summer, that is, at the time of field work, playing the role of seeding and harvesting combines, they wore a kamiza, a shirt like this - with sleeves, but one-piece. Once, in my youth, I sewed myself such a "kamiza" from a piece of red calico (lying around in the closet). True, the width of the piece of fabric was not enough, the sleeves turned out to be short, but for the summer it was just that. And I have to admit that in the future I have never had more comfortable clothes. Everything with sewn-in sleeves sits well, and when putting on and working around the house behaves extremely unpleasantly - presses, rubs.

[CHEREDA73]

Yes, you have to pay for the "show-off" ...
What then, what now ...

[depressant]

Especially for "show-off" in the Middle Ages, they paid with diseases of the legs. Because of the fashion for ridiculous pointed shoes. The longer the nose, the more prestigious. It got to the point that fashionistas tied the "noses" of their shoes to the belt. The remains of about two hundred men from that time were examined. And what happened?
Expensive, but status shoes have become
the cause of the development of bursitis in its owners. And if from the 11th to the 13th century about 6% of the population suffered from bursitis, then at the peak of the craze for sharp-toed shoes around the 15th century - almost 30%.
Bursitis is an inflammation of the mucous bags in the joints.
To say that there is no such thing now is hardly.

[CHEREDA73]

It seems that such pointed-toed shoes were called pullens? I could be wrong. Yes, illustrations for the High Middle Ages often depict people in such pointed shoes. But, even to tie these long noses to the belt ?! Poor fellows ...

[depressant]

Yes, this is exactly the hypertrophied type of bullet, which has gained popularity since the middle of the 14th century. In addition to the unobtrusive form of bursitis, wearing such bullets caused negative consequences in many cases. The bursitis developed in such a way that it often led to a deformity of the big toe, and painful growths appeared on both feet. As a result, people were more likely to fall and receive fractures. And an attempt to remove growths by surgery in the conditions of the then medicine sometimes led to death. Therefore, the pulleins were named "killer shoes".
But research has shown that it was not the poor who suffered from bursitis, but the rich. From this it was concluded that pulleins were not affordable shoes, they were expensive and so much so that even once in their lives the poor could not afford to buy them. If they could, it would turn out that bursitis would spread among the poor. After all, it is enough to walk a couple of times in such shoes, as a foot disease can occur.

Winter would have to survive, but it has just come and is perceived as a deterioration in external circumstances, and, accordingly, personal. I don't have the opportunity to ski and skate!
Yes, and I do not know how )))

[depressant]

Interestingly, in the Middle Ages, underwear was not recognized as an intimate part of the toilet, which should be hidden from the eyes of strangers. As a result, the outerwear was cut out so that through the cuts one could see the linen, decorated with embroidery on the collar and sleeves - a demonstration of welfare? )))

[Fat]

Well, I don’t know .. Little ruffles on a panties only for the very, most. ))))

[depressant]

Why are you all the secrets - that's how you took it and laid it out! )))

[Senior seaman]

Plundras can without exaggeration be attributed to the most extravagant phenomena in the history of the costume.

How to say...

Over the royal pants - a skirt. Children's. It's just that Louis XIV became king at a rather tender age, and the courtiers have such a lot - to imitate the king. Skirts with lace over culottes, vests with circles and similar attributes came into fashion. Moreover, the king grew up at one point, and the fashion held on for some time :)))

[kalibr]

"The era of children's fashion" - this is the name of the time.

[depressant]

A good question was raised by you, Ivan)))
The fact is that imitation of a person in power in clothes is one of the signs of servility in front of her, ostentatious loyalty.
The etiquette of servility and humiliated obedience to the king did not appear immediately. First, this eastern custom penetrated into Byzantium, and from there the crusaders brought it to Western Europe. The monarchs liked this, and they began to adapt all the ceremonies to their needs, motivating the need for the servility of his vassals, the monarch, by divine origin.
Without demanding excessive Eastern humiliation from their subjects, European monarchs were content with the kneeling of visitors who were awarded an audience. This method of servility is believed to have been born in Spain, then became a custom at the court of the Austrian emperor. Important persons traveling in carriages, having met the emperor's carriage, were forced to stop their carriages and, leaving them, had to express their obedience to the emperor in the form of bowing one knee. The ladies squatted.
The Versailles court did not accept this "Spanish" custom. For the French, he gave a bad taste)))
But etiquette took root in England. From the endless squats in front of the royal lady, the pantaloons of the ladies of the court were too often worn out on their knees - the matter stretched and torn.
And this is what the French Marshal Vieilleville wrote in his memoirs, in 1547 invited on the occasion to dinner with King Edward VI:
"At dinner the knights of the Order of the Garter served dishes. Approaching the table, they each time fell to their knees. The Lord Chamberlain took the dishes from them, who, kneeling down, offered them to the king. It seemed to us French very strange that the most prominent representatives the English aristocracy, including the famous military leaders, had to kneel down every now and then, while in France even the pages, entering rest, only kneel. "
But still they bowed)))
Imitation of the king in dress was a more elegant form of expression of servility. The amusing custom of imitation of the powerful of this world is shown in the Strugatskys' novel "It is difficult to be a god."
Don Rumata, irritated by the unhygienic behavior of the aristocracy at the royal table, took out a handkerchief and wiped his lips and hands with it. And on the very next day, the aristocrats demonstrated that they had scarves of varying degrees of embroidery, laces and different sizes. Some gracefully dragged whole sheets behind them, and even the soldiers wiped their sweaty foreheads with pieces of cloth. )))
Hence - the "children's trousers" mentioned by you and lace on adult uncles.

Quote: depressant

imitation of the ruling person in clothing is one of the signs of servility in front of her, ostentatious loyalty.

Yes, not always ostentatious. For example, in the same XVI - early XVII centuries, the corrugation collar was in fashion, and it reached the greatest size among the Spaniards and the Imperials. But the Protestants in the North of Europe wore turn-down collars, sometimes also very magnificent. And this, in addition to following fashion, indicated political preferences. That is, whether a fürst is on a ceremonial portrait in a corrugation, therefore, he is a supporter of the Habsburgs. If with a turn-down - a free-thinking fronder. And if it tries in vain to keep neutrality, then there is a corrugation, but it is narrow, narrow :)))

[depressant]

For example, in the same XVI - early XVII centuries, the corrugation collar was in fashion, and it reached the greatest size among the Spaniards and the Imperials.

Yes, I noticed long ago that in paintings dating back to the same century, some gentlemen have corrugated collars, while others have wide turn-down collars. I believed that this is due to belonging to a social stratum, and it looks like a religious opposition.
In fact, the corrugation as a work of the tailors of the Renaissance is usually called "raf" among professional historians. And fashion historians call corrugation "millstone". Well, and, of course, how can it be without a legend! Allegedly, the corrugation, or raf, was invented by some Spanish noblewoman with an ugly neck. In fact, this very corrugation developed rather slowly from a small collar to a "millstone".
The "millstone" that had grown to titanic proportions had to be powdered and starchy, otherwise it would no longer keep its shape. It was a complicated business, it required time and skills from the servants, as well as knowledge of secrets, and now the service industry went to meet fashionistas, whole workshops began to appear in cities, professionally engaged in bringing collars into the desired shape and keeping them in "working order".
But why was this "millstone" needed?
This is where the conspiracy begins:
protection from fleas and lice, concealment of syphilis, or a dirty neck, or the smell of sweat - such ventilation.
I don’t know about syphilis, but the nobility and the middle class washed in baths, of which there were many, washed together - men and women. Washing was considered prestigious, cleanliness is a hallmark of the wealthy and noble classes. There are many medieval miniatures on this topic. The very wealthy had their own bathrooms.
And the collar is just fashion. In Spain, already in the 17th century, fashion was banned by Philip IV. And she disappeared instantly with no regret from anyone )))

Oh, Lyudmila Yakovlevna! Your knowledge of medieval life is growing rapidly, bravo! I will note, however, that commoners also had access to the little joys of personal hygiene. In mid-XNUMXth century Paris, there were two dozen public baths, not counting private ones. There was a separate guild of bath attendants by masters in which there were also women (this is to the question of female lawlessness in the Middle Ages).

Anton, you won't believe it!
A year or a year and a half ago, I was completely at the mercy of the stereotype about "unwashed Europe", and how many more I still have, these stereotypes about the West! I suspect a lot. But the West for me begins and ends on the pages of articles about it, it is far from me ...

Lord, how I envy you! It's one thing to look at reproductions in an old album, and it's another to see the paintings live. Especially if they are housed in the Hermitage.

I explain the specifics.
The factory announced a 60% vaccination, vaccinated, gave a "prospectus", "letter", "certificate". Then a notification came that I was vaccinated with "Joker Fife."

Thanks for the instruction! This is the first thing. And the second - these two of your letters, these are the ones in which you say that you are rushing to work and the last one ends with a shout "Damn, damn, damn!" ???
Well, so I covered the letter with two fingers. I guess the devil unhooked from you.
Or not? )))

[depressant]

Why, why two?

From confusion in the presence of a horned one. The painting "Boyarynya Morozova" surfaced in front of my eyes as an instruction, so I ... Blundered, right? Does the cat hiss? If it does not hiss, then two fingers turned out to be sufficient, and three is already an overexpenditure of divine energy.

Not my God. Doesn't hiss. Until the divine presence is proven, I dare not deny its absence. I don’t undertake.

Well, friends, you can only be amazed at the advancement of your places of residence. I pay for the light through the bank, and for the water and so on - personally, to the cashier, through the window behind which a nice woman sits and accepts cash from me. The population so sentenced me too. For some reason, it seems to us that it is more convenient to communicate with our service company. Such are the things.

[Phil77]

Lyudmila Yakovlevna !!!! A person with such knowledge, with such experience of life, with such ..... yes, damn me!
It is not convenient for you to communicate with the "service staff". For, it is convenient for her to "communicate" with you!
Well, ask, really, anyone on the site! Everyone will be happy to give you detailed instructions! What? Where? How? Why do you need an extra headache?

[depressant]

What? Where? How? Why do you need an extra headache?

We all save water. And through the bank, this is how they will calculate the meter readings for the last year by the average and they will charge the average monthly - save water or not. And then it will turn out that people, on the one hand, will involuntarily begin to overspend water, and on the other, the bank may say next year: “Rates for water have risen, and we do not owe you what you owe for your savings, but you are us still have to. " They will tell and roll out an additional account, and even for service. We are faced with this when paying for electricity and overhaul through a bank. And try it, don't pay. And they check the meter only once a year. And it’s easier with water - I’ve saved it, and you’ll get a smaller bill for the current month in your mailbox. A person is like his own master: I want - I waste water, I want not to waste. For people with low income, this is very important.

[Phil77]

East das alles. So you have a water meter?

[depressant]

So you have a water meter?

Exactly what is. And I keep an eye on the readings of the hot and cold water meters every day. Therefore, I have long ago switched to economical hand washing, from which my hands hurt.

[Phil77]

You yourself send the readings of everything, both water and electricity.
Lyudmila Yakovlevna! Urgently, urgently to make out everything! First of all - "electronic" !!!!

[depressant]

You yourself send the readings of everything, both water and electricity.

No, Seryozha. On the receipt of Sberbank there is a column for electricity consumption. I tried to fill it, the reaction is zero. They wanted to sneeze on my fill! They count on the average, every month the same account. After the new year, a person comes, checks the meter, and that's it. No one there will bother with calculating how much I overspend there this month or did not spend more. And let's leave this conversation about receipts, it bothers me on the topic of pants and corrugated collars )))

[Phil77]

Let's do it, Lyudmila Yakovlevna / much more familiar and I like it more! (Cheshire grin) /!
Step number one.
Go to the clinic.
Step number two.
Boldly, in a commanding voice:

In the meantime, the question is: Why do you need this? Are you going to a bar? A restaurant? I was obliged, that's my whole answer to you.

I saw such videos about Venice, Milan, small Swiss towns - God, what a miracle, what architecture, the neatness of the streets! Before that, I did not know that these places are like that. Photography does not convey the true appearance of the phenomenon. I don’t insist, but think about it, Anton.

And in the end, isn't it time to put the question-SHOULD! For, we ..., and -we wait, sir.

It’s not about inspiration, but about information, I didn’t find a catalog of the exhibition, so I’ll have to draw from independent sources, and this time.

A dog is always great! Just like the cat.
Stop! Alimony ... for a dog?!?
You are joking?

[3x3zsave]

No not kidding

[Phil77]

"she's beautiful".
My God! Whom did she remind me of? Olga Kabo !!!!

[depressant]

My God! Whom did she remind me of? Olga Kabo !!!!

Oh, the connoisseur has appeared! As I predicted ))))

[Phil77]

I was. I did not go. God be with you, madam.

[depressant]

I was. I am not ...

I meant: the connoisseur of the beautiful, of course, will not pass by ... the beautiful and will immediately check it out with his usual scrupulousness )))

[Phil77]

Alimony? For a dog? Et like ?????
Do you already have ??????? Alimony for a dog in St. Petersburg?

[3x3zsave]

This is not in St. Petersburg, these are my personal cockroaches.

[Phil77]

Explain. If ... of course the topic is not subtle.

[3x3zsave]

Everything is simple. I was the initiator of the appearance of a certain being, at a certain point in space-time, and now I consider myself responsible for the fate of this creature.

[Phil77]

I’ve already gone. Communication? No, well, it’s clear that your dog ran into ... or, on the contrary, yours ... pushed. Well, so what? By the way, who is this tailed friend?

[3x3zsave]

Vile innuendo.
Female dog, labrador.

[Phil77]

Well
What? And I have a cat - "Moscow-Russian-striped-spotted". What of this?

[3x3zsave]

Nothing. You asked, I answered.

[Phil77]

Anton, explain simply, huh? Yes, I'm stupid today.

[3x3zsave]

Not here and not now.

[depressant]

Alimony for a dog?

Yes, it bothered me too. If people want a dog and take it, then let them feed it. Anton says this is not a joke. It means a uniform mockery of him. It is simply immoral on the part of the people who took the dog. You can not do it this way.

[3x3zsave]

Everything is easier, Lyudmila Yakovlevna, the dog remained with my love

[depressant]

Honestly, it got through. Happy trip, Anton!

[3x3zsave]

Thank you, Lyudmila Yakovlevna!

[Phil77]

Well, I’m stupid! I don’t understand anything!

[3x3zsave]

By the way, Lyudmila Yakovlevna, how interesting is antique "glass" to you? I can shoot an exhibition especially for you.

[depressant]

antique "glass"

Anton, I love glass! Shoot!

[3x3zsave]

Well done.

[Phil77]

A ???? Undead ????

[Phil77]

They killed him like that, with javelins, but I'm talking about the statue

[Fat]

To us, macro-seed OE. And now we know - a whole culture! Thank you.

[LisKat2]

Interestingly, I have not even heard of this.

[LisKat2]

I read by "an elegant form of expression of servility" that Louis 14 began to see worse with age and had glasses. All the courtiers immediately had glasses. One courtier, knowing that Louis was 14, liked to change different glasses. He probably did not go to the occulist.
He "forgot" his glasses in a conspicuous place, and under them is a piece of paper, where he praised the king. Louis14 saw the glasses and let's read. I read it and said:
- These are very strong glasses for me.
And he "terribly" punished the nobleman: he was not allowed into the palace for a week!

[LisKat2]

And the bows on the shoes. Like the wings of a big butterfly

[Phil77]

Bows on the shoes help to bounce. From ... great love!

[depressant]

Bows on the shoes help to bounce. From ... great love! laughing

Seryozha, you have appeared! Glad to see you in a good mood)))

[Phil77]

I wrote to you. You are ... insidious! Didn't answer. What kind of good mood can we talk about? "I'll take the poison ... for sugrev."

[depressant]

I wrote to you. You are ... insidious! They did not answer.

Are you seriously? I'll go check it out! )))

[Phil77]

It's too late! The poison is in me! It remains only to sing "Varyag" loudly, with expression, tearing off the vest. And write off all the property to the cat! He deserves it.
Maybe ours are 5-2 leading the Czechs. Lada, I'll think about it.

[depressant]

write off all the property to the cat! He deserves it.

Given your violent temperament, the cat deserves )))
Do not rest on your laurels, ours are leading with an insufficient margin)))

[Phil77]

It turned out to be enough. Won. But! Who are the rivals? And in the form of the USSR national team?! Beautiful? Beautiful. Little? Oh, how little.

[depressant]

in the form of the USSR national team?! Beautiful? Beautiful. Little? Oh, how little. ...

From so! ...
The Czechs remembered the past and, as usual, lost. But how could it not happen that in the Soviet uniform we will lose to the Finns? Or did we lose to the Swedes?

[Phil77]

He's not violent. He's ... restless.

[astra wild2]

"skirts came into fashion" Do you mean to say: the king wore a skirt?

[astra wild2]

"to fight in linen panties is simply indecent" to sit in the company of ladies, without panties is decent, but it is not decent to fight

[Andobor]

Bre in Europe leggings and briefs have been worn for at least 5 thousand years,
the ice man Ötzi, found in the 5300-year-old Alps, dressed this way.

[Normal ok]

At first, comfort in combat formed style. then, as the functionality was lost, the style began to prevail. Although ... Gaston Gallife, thank you. You could put a lot in your pocket))

[UA3QHP]

Yes, the bottle of lemonade in these pants just fell through.

[LisKat2]

I wish you all a good day. Vyacheslav Olegovich, today I have shared my clothes.
As the rattle noted, the weather is disgusting. Now I ran to the supermarket, 2 blocks, brt damp. Now I warm myself and think: tomorrow I won't leave the apartment at all. And if there is something interesting on the site. - generally spring, for me personally.
Actually, in all fairness, I'm a spoiled doll: last year there was snow, which is both good and bad, but ice is ... Early in the morning I ran to the tram and ran nothing, but now I don't like rain.
For a long time in some kind of film, I heard such words: "a man is not a grateful beast", although valuable, but correct. We're spoiled for comfort

[astra wild2]

Piggy, Vitalya left and can you flirt with men?
And if I tell Vitalke, what are you "twirling with your voice"? Hee hee

[LisKat2]

A friend is called. Who is more of a pig, you or me?

[Phil77]

So, his name is Vitaly!
How much new we learn from your "girlish" correspondence.

[astra wild2]

Quote: Phil77

So, his name is Vitaly!
How much new we learn from your "girlish" correspondence.

What to do: Women are talkative.
Although there are no exceptions: in the 17th the "mute" works, she speaks very, very little. And in the summer I met a girl, she spoke on the phone for 50 minutes!

[astra wild2]

Do you understand the joke?

[astra wild2]

Konrad von Bambelberg, apparently, wore a lot of money under masculine dignity. Vaughn
What portrait he ordered and the armor also speaks of wealth

[3x3zsave]

against the background of ancient medieval castles
Which in itself is no less valuable. So, for example, everyone probably remembers the picture from the cover of the textbook on the history of the Middle Ages authored by Abigalova,

but few people thought about what kind of fortification was depicted in the background of the miniature. And this is the Louvre castle, which has not survived to our time, a view of which opened from the other bank of the Seine.
Thank you, Vyacheslav Olegovich!

[depressant]

this is the Louvre castle, which has not survived to our time, the view of which opened from the other bank of the Seine.

Well, in the past eight hundred years, not much has survived. Is that the pyramids)))

[Korsar4]

Solid. No weakness in the knees.

[3x3zsave]

Paris in this sense was very unlucky. At the time of Baron Haussmann, there was no UNESCO.

[Phil77]

And ???? WHOA !!!!!

[depressant]

Seryozha, do not remember the insignificant puppet of the powers that be, who put under control the puppet of the strong from the weak - Rospotrebnadzor.

[Fat]

Look at the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; but I tell you that Solomon, in all his glory, did not dress like every one of them ”(Matthew 6: 28-29). How should these words be understood?

[depressant]

And so. They grow and represent unimaginable value, until someone came and mowed them for pet food. Or until a child ripped them off to bring home a bouquet. But on the way he got tired of them, he threw them into the dust, and a passing cart beat them up with its wheels, and the horse harnessed to that cart also trampled them. Separately growing beauty and complexity, which no king of the earth can reach, are fragile to the point of impossibility.

[Fat]

The kings of people have no power over the plan of the Creator of fate)))))

[depressant]

And I heard the voice of heaven, rumbling in the voice of Andrei Borisovich:

The kings of people have no power over the plan of the Creative destiny

Got a personal shout to rumble? )))

[Fat]

No, I whisper the cherished))))

[Phil77]

The whisper is loud.

[Phil77]

For the creator of destinies, thought, became quiet and ... thought:
"Hasn't it all gone far? Today is a day off. Going over me? Nobody? Driving for a beer? For a snatch?" Am I trembling? Or do I have the right?
Strange, but the word "tv.a.r." Was not missed!

[Fat]

Write not so briefly .... Mirvillos's creature sounds musical, but it means the same))))

[Phil77]

Got it! Ayep? Mirvillos for later, in the morning!

[Phil77]

Me, what? Chekhov? Anton Pavlovich?

[Korsar4]

Probably about unnecessary care. As later in the parable of Martha and Mary.

[Fat]

Yah! I was hoping to laugh, but here are the roots. Everything .... uzhuh))))

[Korsar4]

And Sir John Falstaff is not only comical.

[Fat]

... Falstaff is a fat, good-natured, cowardly drunkard who spends time in the company of revelers (Bardolph, Nimes, Pistol) and lecherous girls ...
It's not me, but about the girls - it's true, we've all been married three or four times four times. John F. Clever and skillful, and the mua is simpler than the fifth corner of the circle ...

[Phil77]

It seems to me that you are more difficult.
However, who am I, what can I judge you?
Into! Straight from the head - "fell"!
Nobody wrote this? Then, I! The author!

[Phil77]

Andrei Borisovich, dear! I'm always glad to laugh! Above everyone. And above myself, always. Honestly!

[Fat]

And a glass?
- "Note! It was not I who suggested that" (C)

[Phil77]

A-forever! With great pleasure from your company, dear Andrey Borisovich and ... from a glass!

[Fat]

K-e! Mua? Am I the sweetest? Yes, such a vicious brute as I was twice expelled from hell for incompetence and alcoholism.
Healthy liver, yeah)))) And I can play checkers!

[Phil77]

Andrey Borisovich, I respect you.
Did we drink? No? But I'll write a story for you. Like Chekhov, yes! But. Give me the topic, dear. Give me the topic and I'll ... turn around!

[Phil77]

Simply. They grow. And they will grow. Then we will not be, but they will be. Always. At all times.

[LisKat2]

It was good with you, but I have to go

[UA3QHP]

Am I not mistaken? Are short knee-length stockings called GOLF?

[Fat]

Never! Stockings rolled up to the knee are so golf))))
Fashion!

[3x3zsave]

it's so golf))))
Elvish!
Any respectable hobbit, having met an elf with rolled up stockings, realizes that coffins in the villages of orcs will soon rise in price!

[Korsar4]

Because you don't wear golf in Moria.

[3x3zsave]

I doubt very much that the Professor has been to the mines of Cardiff.
As for alternative fantasy (yes, there is one) ...
"A good elf is a dead elf. And tasty" (C)
A good orc is a dead orc. But small. Five dragons per porzayku - not enough! "(C)

[Phil77]

Eh, Anton, ah yes ka to sleep. "Sleepy elf, he is also an elf ...." Sleep, my friend, until my Phil gives, he became anxious, tramp.

[Korsar4]

“I have never been to the Bosphorus,
Don't ask me about him ”(c).

[3x3zsave]

"Mars! Oh Lord, Mars !!!" (WITH)

[Korsar4]

"The sailor with whom so much quarreled
I don’t remember from which ship
He mixed everything up and shouted in fright:
"Earth! Look, brothers, earth!" (With).

[Fat]

Anton, considering that the extreme book on the history of Middle-earth was published according to the "travel" Notes of Tolkien's son ... There are many inconsistencies. And what, forgive me,
friend, are goblins different from orcs and urukhai? With the latter, it is more or less clear - hybrids. And the rest?

[3x3zsave]

Andrey Borisych, I'm not talking about Tolkien, but about derivatives from his work. And if you analyze it well, it turns out that his followers are right: all these characters in pre-Christian epics are extremely unpleasant entities for people.

[Fat]

Respectable people do not wander around Moriyam, they sit in a light forest and drink tea with raspberry jam. Eternity is knee-deep.

[Korsar4]

“- My officers, these are such music lovers!
They are so, mmm, balletomanes.
Having visited this modest abode, they will surely immediately quit drinking and dragging along with actresses.
- Oh my God!
- They will spend the whole week in prayer and drill
And on Sundays they will drink tea
With jam. From this
- Currants? (With).

[Fat]

Sergei, this is gloomy and cynical. Or it’s true, the fact that flowers replaces the orcs will jump in price immediately when golfing at the festival of the king of the Bard-archer)))) Anton correctly noticed.

[Phil77]

How much are they today? Invest capital?

[Fat]

Pyramid, they - do not know how, only to puff out their cheeks ... Weapons are even from the dwarfs, except for hereditary ones ... And yet degenerates do not know how to use them normally.
About kvapital ... Buy a swamp on the outskirts of the city, undoubtedly the great-grandchildren will hand over the plot with a profit, but we will not be able to estimate this))))

[Phil77]

Astor? You mean him? Oh, you are not simple Borisych!

[Phil77]

Borisych, buy a swamp in the eighties? In the New York region? This is KNOWING and KNOWING !!!! We can? Me? You?

[Phil77]

Not erotic! With a garter? Oh-yes! So who knows better about women's underwear?

[Phil77]

What about PioErski? Was it?

[Fat]

There have been a lot! Tell me, friend, how is dirty men's underwear different from dirty women's? Szolstvo - that is, if it is started, it smells bad, only that the cut is different ... Gonadogony, itit ..

[Phil77]

Yes, this is a question: Katherine and Vera. Will they answer? And then the question?

[Phil77]

Andrey! Borisovich! You understand, right? Ask me without the intelligentsia. What?

[Fat]

I don’t know what to ask for sure. The pension was today, and tomorrow ... It will be December 19, 2021, I am 100 percent sure of this, even if without me.))))

[Phil77]

That's it, buddy! And I know more!
"we-echo. We-echo.
We are a long echo of each other .... "
In the sense of lovers .... to relax.
Until!
