dellascala posted a picture of a woman wearing black tippets.
It looks to me like that picture has been redrawn for the engraving in the book, which means that the tippets are in danger of having been misinterpreted by the modern artist.
So I tried to find a copy of the original manuscript online. Turns out that lots of people wrote about Willehalm de Orange, including Wolfram von Eschenbach in 1270. I don't think it's the right manuscript, but there are some very nice pictures.
There's also this nice one from 1420
This one's a child in a plaid houppelande and here's that kid again and someone in a particoloured houppelande I'm up to page 142
I found the manuscript I should be looking for, it's described here but I haven't been able to find it using my favourite manuscript search site
Here's an original picture from the manuscript, and it shows tippets!
