Day 30: Canon Divergence AU

If the day ever comes when Gendry would rather wield a sword than forge one, send him to me. He has the look of a warrior.

Lord Eddard is able to escape the city with his daughters and any of Robert's bastards he can find. Gendry becomes one of Winterfell's guards and Arya's sworn shield. He remains a rather poor horsemen though.

Part 2

Burgundian fashion aesthetics study.

Small studies to get the feel of particular style for future drawings. It`s not super accurate depiction, just an artistic expression.

I’ve found the stuff you’ve talked about as regards fashion in Thedas super interesting! On that note, if there any thoughts you have about things characters would wear or you think would be interesting for them to wear whether of your ocs or of canon characters, I’d be very interested.

put those frenchwomen in hennins (the funky headdresses) right now. i also think they should dress more like this in general tbh like stop doing whatever you’re doing and put a burgundian dress on

#to be clear i dont actually know anything abt medieval fashion i am being an amateur enjoyer here #and these arent all hennins i dont think but it gets very confusing so im being generalising and wrong #anyway. i think isolde would wear a burgundian dress i quickly sketched it and turning her fit into something more like that works fairly #well i think #the fur makes her fit in a little but it’s still distinctly french

[richmond-rex]

For me it’s a shame these portraits (and their variations) are not contemporary 💔 those outfits pop severely and I love the idea that Edward and Elizabeth deliberately decided to colour-coordinate their drip and slay together on canvas, truly THE it couple of their time. Astounding levels of burgundian-like realness. 

#silly post alert #but edward's attention to burgundian protocol #i doubt he didn't have an eye for couple-coordinated fashion #edward iv #elizabeth woodville #ok goodnight #back to our normal schedule in a bit

Italy and France consistently show me they are the most fashionable ones in Europe no matter the era

#italian and french renaissance is just top tier #the houppelande dress? slays #the gamurra? the motherfuck queen of medieval dresses? fucking slays double #the honorary mention is the burgundian fashion

Alys Rivers, the Woods witch💚

The inspiration for her dress comes from the Burgundian fashion of the XV century. It was definitely fun working on this and I feel like in the future I will take some more inspiration from this era!

King Robert Baratheon

A huge man decked out in golds and blacks. I looked at men's fashion in the eras of Burgundians and Houppelandes. I did want a antler-crown but I couldn't get the antlers to look right so I went with a jeweled circlet, a more "casual" crown if you will.

Just for fun: maybe a show of how both Aemma Arryn and Alicent Hightower would affect the court fashion by being from the Vale and Reach, respectably?

Oooh that sounds fun let’s do it!!

I believe in Burgundian dresses in the Vale supremacy. It just fits the vibe also fur!!! Very important no? Just overall a style that fits that elegant upper class vibe of the Eyrie before the dance, which Aemma grew up in. Big headdresses are the staple of every outfit, especially the hennin cone with a gauzy veil draped around. A very gentle, almost Virginia kind of fashion that Aemma grows up wearing and brings to Kings Landing when she becomes queen

After a while in kings landing, this Eyrie fashion has adapted to the city. The basic cut of the gown is still the same, but seems to be a bit more complex and layered and sluttier. Ostentatious rich women take the idea of that elegant Eyrie fashion and just gild and glitz the shit out of it. OR a woman might downplay the gown and dress simply and just really heighten the look and size of the headdress, making it increasingly impractical (think the mid 1700s in France).

During Alicents early reign, she hasn’t garnered any influence or personal style yet and she’s still a young girl trying her best to get into the good graces of her old fart husband so she probably still resembles Aemma in her clothing. Modest and gentle without all of the grandiosity of the other women of kings landing, because of both the faith at Oldtown and her need to blend in as best she can. Eventually people start following in her footsteps, and more subdued and muted styles become popular, with a natural waist and bust coming back, as well as soft natural coloring

Once Alicent is firmly established, I think she starts to dress for piousness. Long sleeves that don’t billow out, skirts that cover everything and more, natural outline of the body, modest headdresses. And once the war begins this naturally starts to take hold throughout the city, as noblewomen go into mourning and also start to realize the excess they used to have cannot be afforded anymore.

Shireen Baratheon, Queen of the Stormlands

The first look is based on Burgundian dress because it’s an underrated look and the second look (as well as the first pic’s hairstyle) is based on @15-lizards’s post on Stormland fashion

One thing I'll never forgive the got costuming design department is that Vale is peak medieval burgundian fashion coded (in my mind). I'm speaking fancy headdresses, head scarves, veiles! Fur trimmed dresses in bold colours and with dropping sleeves! Men in tights! Vale-wide fights about how short a gentleman's upper garment is allowed to be before... too much is exposed.

And instead we got weird flowy garments (they live on a mountain range, it's cold up there, babes) and Sansa's weird raven goth era that didn't commit hard enough

Playing Cards ca. 1475–80

South Netherlandish

The Cloisters set of fifty-two cards constitutes the only known complete deck of illuminated ordinary playing cards (as opposed to tarot cards) from the fifteenth century. There are four suits, each consisting of a king, queen, knave, and ten pip cards. The suit symbols, based on equipment associated with the hunt, are hunting horns, dog collars, hound tethers, and game nooses. The value of the pip cards is indicated by appropriate repetitions of the suit symbol.

The figures, which appear to be based on Franco-Flemish models, were drawn in a bold, free, and engaging, if somewhat unrefined, hand. Their exaggerated and sometimes anachronistic costumes suggest a lampoon of extravagant Burgundian court fashions. Although some period card games are named, it is not known how they were played. Almost all card games did, however, involve some form of gambling. The condition of the set indicates that the cards were hardly used, if at all. It is possible that they were conceived as a collector’s curiosity rather than a deck for play.

More adventures in manuscript hunting

So I've got two depictions of Philippa of Hainault here from different editions of Froissart's Chronicles. They show the badass moment I was unaware of when she rallied the troops on horseback before the Battle of Neville's Cross against the Scots.

The first one is very pretty and detailed, but clearly way out of date (the artist of this edition puts 15th century Burgundian fashion on everybody.) The second one is simpler, but may have been produced closer to Philippa's lifetime (none of these have a date, other than some time between 1350 and 1450). Also, she's kinda warlike and fired up, even riding astride instead of sidesaddle.

So the question is:

#I have been looking at editions of Froissart for like six straight hours #when I found the full digitized copy of BNF 2675 I've been looking for for two days I genuinely cried #I need an intervention #plantagenets #manuscript #it is 3 in the morning #would you believe I was surprised when I got my OCD diagnosis

So uhhh my headcanons on feminine clothing in the “main four” Westerosi regions in my mind, ie the four regions that are right next to each other with the majority of influence in the Seven Kingdoms and the most similar cultures. The Riverlands, Westerlands, Stormlands, and Reach. In my head they all wear various forms of clothing from roughly the late middle ages, with specific styles for each region

The Westerlands are a pretty basic Tudor shape. They’re all about ostentatious displays of wealth in every possible way, rich fabrics, rich jewels, time consuming constructions, etc. The flaunting of wealth extends even to things like wider sleeves that use up more fabric. In general, the idea is not just to show off, but also to sort of stand out against the landscape. With lots of flatlands, Westerland women prefer deeper, richer colors and textures. Plus it means not very much floral or nature motifs in fashion.

The Riverlands are similar to the Westerlands in silhouette as they are right next to each other, but are much more subdued when it comes to extravagant jewels. They’re a more down to earth culture, so narrower sleeves and modest necklines, more gloves and hats as you get further north. That being said, as they are practical people impracticality is their version of wealth flaunting - ie, clothing that is time consuming to make, costs a lot of fabric and material, and/or is difficult to wear and move in. Ruffs, even small ones, are a staple amongst all nobility. For their highest born ladies, especially on special occasions they’ll break out the French farthingale. And of course, the whackiest of shapes for headgear.

I envision that as you get further south in Westeros the clothing becomes less structured. The Reach is the epitome of the romanticized medieval period, where they believe in true knights and chivalry. Their clothes are all designed with a romantic aim in mind. The silhouette allows for a flattering structure no matter your body type, and the skirts get to flow freely around you. The Reach style is the epitome of fashion in Westeros, and it’s influences are being seen all over - even Cersei Lannister as queen occasionally veers away from her staunch loyalty to her homeland’s styles for the sake of staying fashionable and attractive. The Reach is a massive chunk of Westeros, so the border parts of the reach do bear similarities with styles from other regions. Go north and you’ll see some Westerlands decor elements on Reach silhouettes, go towards the Stormlands and the fabrics get thicker and more durable, more similar to houppelandes.

The Stormlands have been wearing the same styles for years and years, as they have less care for frivolities like fashion (so they say - they still very much like to dress wealthy). That’s only recently started to change, what with a Baratheon on the throne bringing an eye to their region for more than just their port trade. Less dress structure in the south, and a cage skirt like a farthingale is incredibly impractical in stormy weather. Instead, it’s a lot of layers of very heavy fabrics. Richer women show off with more and more expensive damasks and velvets, along with more fabric. Using more fabric than is necessary is the ultimate showing of wealth, and skirts being so long and heavy that the noblewomen have to actually carry them shows how little they have to work for that wealth. I think amongst younger people, Reach styles are starting to have an influence as they are right beside the Stormlands. Burgundian gowns have become all the rage, especially as you can add fur linings to it (both useful and showy in the windy Stormlands). In general more defined and higher waists are becoming much more commonly seen, especially once Renly married Margaery and his supporters in the Stormlands start to emulate her.

hai ari whats ur dream fashion style? not like what you dress like now, but what u wish u could wear? :33

Well, 15th century armour of many varieties...

This is the early 15th century style -note the smooth, short breastplate and the relatively long fauld or 'skirt of plates' to protect the lower abdomen. This is the kind of armour that would have been worn by Jeanne d'arc, and indeed her English enemies.

The early 15th century is also where we start to see the dying out of cloth coverings for most soldiers, like these rather fetching fellows and their excellent tabard. There's a move towards bare metal as the 1400s progress.

Further forward we see the Burgundian style come into its own, and I really do like their look. I do love me some brigandine, something like what the fellow in white is wearing.

Something that also appears in Burgundy are various depictions of the armour people belived the great heroes of the past wore -this is fantasy armour in a time when plate armour was arguably at its peak importance, and it looks cool as fuck.

Following this, we have the pinnacle of the German Gothic style. And goddamn is that shit sexy.

Special mention to brigandine again. That shit slaps So hard, it's almost as proctective as full solid plate (there's not much in it), it's more flexible and it looks SO GOOOOOD like look at this shit

(this is a more fantastical design but it still holds up)

Plus, they can get SUUUUPER fancy too!

The second of these isn't a super high quality image but I've seen it in person and it is stunning. The fabric it uses is actually an off-cut from the late Queen Elizabeth II's sofa!

Plus, special mention to chinese brigandine armour, of which there are so many cool styles. this is a Ming dynasty example, and man I gotta learn more about chinese arms and armour it looks cool as shit

Aside from medieval armour, I do very much dig the sorta fantasy-piratical aesthetic. Tall boots, corsets, funky hats, big long flowing coats and frilly shirts... What's not to love!?

"It was probably William Cornish who produced the pageant and played the role of Ardent Desire: Hall makes it very clear that it was not the King. This was Cornish’s last major pageant: he died in 1523, and was succeeded as deviser of court revels by John Rightwise, who continued in the same tradition. Rightwise, a clever Latinist, succeeded William Lily that same year as High Master of St. Paul’s School. Mary Tudor, Duchess of Suffolk, led the dancers as Beauty; the Countess of Devon played the role of Honour; Mary Boleyn was Kindness; Jane Parker, the daughter of Lord Morley and shortly to be betrothed to Mary’s brother George Boleyn, was Constancy; and Anne Boleyn, Mary’s younger sister, recently recalled from the French court because of the deteriorating political situation, was Perseverence. Anne Boleyn was just embarking on her spectacular but ultimately disastrous career, and this was her public debut at the English court. Born around 1501, she had spent her formative years first at the brilliant court of Margaret of Austria, then in the household of Mary Tudor during her brief reign as Queen of France, and later as a maid of honour to the pious Queen Claude. At the Burgundian and French courts, Anne had gained a fine education and learned every sophisticated accomplishment and on her return to England, her father—or possibly her sister’s influence—was able to secure her a place in Queen Katherine’s household. Anne stood out among the ladies at the English court because she was so French in her manners and style of dress, and therefore at the forefront of fashion. Anne was then about twenty-one, rather old to be unmarried. For two years now, her father had been negotiating to wed her to Sir James Butler, heir to the Earl of Ormonde, to settle a dispute over the Ormonde inheritance; but the matter was dropped for reasons that are not clear. Thanks not only to Sir Thomas Boleyn’s talents as a diplomat and courtier, but also no doubt to his daughter Mary’s occasional occupancy of the royal bed, the Boleyns were in the ascendant and becoming very influential." - Alison Weir, The king and his court.
