These garments and accessories make sometimes possible rebuild the costume used by the King, his musicians, pages, etc., in court ceremonies, and get to know the aesthetic atmosphere in ceremonial cutting. The sources used provide first hand information for History of Costume, and they are a prime source for Spanish clothing studies from late Gothic period, as in this moment the court men’s dress set fashion.
