Sorry, wasn't meant as a criticism. I did put in the little smiley. The
statement as I saw it was perhaps a little more unequivocal than most of
us ought to get, but it has since become evident that you've possibly
reconsidered and qualified the statement, which solved the problem
rather well, I think.
As Lady Bonne pointed out, and I've agreed for years, it's probably a
good idea to get away from worrying about whether something is "period",
because the definition is sort of meaningless without qualifications
sufficient to make use of a term like "appropriate for a
sixteenth-century Spaniard" a simpler and more effective option. Once
you get into "it's period for a person in such-and-such a time and in
such-and-such a place", it is no longer especially useful to bother with
the term.
