As to what it means, well, that's the heart of the debate... Hi Jill,

What do the lines and dots represent; short ends, long ends? Many thanks! I’m looking at the cuskynoles figure and it makes no sense. What do the lines and dots represent; short ends, long ends?

It's in Dijon. If you are going to be at the next rapier practice I'll bring both catalogues. I saw that painting at Cleveland when we went up for an exhibit on the Court of Burgundy. It’s in Dijon.

Either way, there's something so *decadent* about telling your whole court to show up and wear the same color - and white, hunting! at that....

I'll look some more. As for hats- there's a chaperon-ish hat on a woman in the 'Bear and Boar' Devonshire tapestry http://www.vandaimages.com/results.asp?image=2006BF7028-01&itemw=2&itemf=0001&itemstep=1&itemx=23 One that's more like a man's hood is in a tapestry in the Musee des Artes Decoratif on the right in this pic http://www.lesartsdecoratifs.fr/francais/arts-decoratifs/collections-26/parcours-27/chronologique/moyen-age-renaissance/les-salles/une-chambre-a-coucher-a-la-fin-du/lit-a-dais It's also on p227 of the _Paris 1400_ catalog. I'll look some more later. T.

The DFB verbal comments are there as a courtesy to bring to your attention something you might miss - no matter how some people might phrase it. Most people will bring RBG hits to the attention of the victim if they don't react to them, though, again, some people do it with less tact than others. Like everything else, if you accept it as a valid blow or not is on your interpretation of what happened. For technical technicalness, no one can declare you dead other than yourself or a marshal.
