regarding 1200 ad clothes text armour any refrence is much apreciated .

Or threads showing photos on other related sites .? Same topic .
Secondary Issues ....
The time of 1200 ad was I believe near the end of the second crusade (please correct me if wrong ) .Many sources i read claim that the Black Plague came from Asia or even China and did not reach Europe for some time .
Was trade blamed for the spread of the Plague or were the returning Crusades also blamed ?If I should post this querry elsewhere let me know...

When we decide on the dress matters of this character for the film we will post photos.... if you like ..I know this is site more about history than production ,,

1200 AD is between the 3rd and 4th Crusades. Clothing for this period might be more problematic, although there are a number of reenactment groups who deal with day-to-day life as well as weapons and armour.

I have no ideas really about how the Great Plague or Black Death started. I know that it hit the Middle-East and Europe at roughly the same time, i.e. circa 1347 AD. If you believe contemporary Egyptian chroniclers (and in general they are usually very reliable), Egypt and Syria were hit very badly, even worse than Europe. The chroniclers talk about entire villages being depopulated and some crafts completely dying out because all the practitioners were dead. Egypt also had reccurrences of the plague right through the 15th and 16th century all the way through to the early 19th century.
