Particularly if you are interested in the real technicalities.
It might also prove some consolation for any of you who bravely ploughed on with The White Queen. The Medieval Historian finally cracked this week and sat there with his head in his hands moaning, no, no, no to himself throughout the Battle of Bosworth section. Even I wondered why there was snow on the ground for a battle fought in August in Leicestershire.

My daughter-in-law drew this amazing website to my attention, it shows the detail and construction of the embroidery on Game of Thrones costumes, by Michele Carragher. I hope the link works.
Thanks for this – what a brilliant website. I think I might have to watch Game of Thrones after all – there has been entrenched resistance from the Medieval Historian.
