"Dines: A Glimpse into Medieval Feasts and Fashions" Step back in time to the 20th century, where jockeys like Johnny Dines ruled the racetracks with their incredible skills. But beyond the world of horse racing, a different kind of feast awaited. Imagine being a witness to history's most iconic meal - The Last Supper - but in miniature form. This intricate artwork captures every detail, reminding us of the significance of that momentous occasion. However, not all they were filled with joy and celebration. In times of hardship, such as during the Hard Times era or Harthouse's reign, even dining became a challenge. It was as if Damocles himself dined with a sword hanging over his head. Venturing further into medieval times, we encounter Saxon and Norman military costumes from the Bayeux Tapestry. These engravings transport us to battlefields where knights clashed in combat wearing extravagant fashions fit for royalty. Speaking of extravagance, let us not forget about Sir Hugh Bardolph's effigy from 1259-1304. Adorned in opulent attire befitting his status, this depiction showcases how fashion played an essential role even after one's passing. Norman cavalry charging into combat brings forth images of bravery and chivalry on ancient battlegrounds. Their military costumes reflect both strength and elegance while leaving an indelible mark on history. And finally, we delve into Norman fashions from the 11th century - a period characterized by its unique style choices that set it apart from other eras. From ornate headpieces to intricately designed garments, these engravings offer glimpses into an age defined by its sartorial splendor. "dines" take us on a captivating journey through various aspects of history - from equestrian triumphs to legendary feasts, from the hardships of war to the opulence of medieval fashion.
