Abstract
English documents describe the contents of the Royal Family's Great Wardrobe. The records constitute an inventory of colors, weaves, textiles, clothing, furs, accessories, furnishing items, and equipment used by various craftsmen. Clothing in the Wardrobe was used for jousts, ceremonies, and feasts. During Edward III's reign numerous craftsmen were employed to decorate textiles, testifying to the wealth of the time.
