Have to agree with you on this, Master A. European nobility did not where
pants until 1650 C.E. which is why some extend period to this date. Of
course, the barbarian races surrounding the civilized world at that time did
wear brays but these were in fact a form of long underwear and were usually
worn only in the winter months. In warmer months either nothing was worn
under the tunic by these barbarous tribes or a form of much shortened bray
resembling for lack of a better term Bermuda shorts was occasionally seem.

Tunic lengths also never rose above the knee. Pictures of supposedly shorter
tunics were  really a short type of over shirt with the tunic worn under it
and tucked inside the brays. And now back to cookery>    Early Welsch
Cookery= Irishman Stew. :-)
