The hood/amice could then be retracted neatly around the collar. In several Mediaeval uses, such as the Sarum Rite, the amice bore a broad stiff band of brocade or other decoration, giving the impression of a high collar. These were called apparelled amices. This practice was abandoned at Rome at about the end of the 15th century, but continued in other parts of Europe until much later.

The enmity between Lucy and Harclay could stem from a dispute over the honour of Papcastle. In 1322, Harclay had also briefly disseised Lucy of his lands after the 1322 rebellion, even though Lucy had taken no part in that event. On 3 March, Harclay was arraigned before a royal justice in Carlisle, but was denied a proper hearing. He was brought forward apparelled in his robes of estate as a knight and earl.

In the words of the chronicler Edward Hall, "Her hair hanging down, which was fair, yellow and long ... she was apparelled after the English fashion, with a French hood, which so set forth her beauty and good visage, that every creature rejoiced to behold her." She appeared rather solemn by English standards, and looked old for her age. Holbein painted her with a high forehead, heavy-lidded eyes and a pointed chin. Henry met her privately on New Year's Day 1540 at Rochester Abbey in Rochester on her journey from Dover.

The American businessman, Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt, visited the hotel frequently in the 1890s, stopping to take lunch and to collect telegrams. He and a number of other millionaires, including James Hazen Hyde, practised the old English coaching techniques of the early 19th century for sport. Vanderbilt would frequently drive the coach, perfectly apparelled as a coachman or groom. His party would take a one-day, two-day, or longer trip along chosen routes through several counties, going to prearranged inns and hotels along the routes, of which the Burford Bridge was one.

Converting to Catholicism, he travelled to France around 1556 where he was ordained a secular priest in Notre Dame, Paris, in 1574- possibly at the testimonial of Mary, Queen of Scots. Returning to the north of England, he was a priest in York, where it seems he was 'apparelled in course canvas dublit and hose,' and in the East Midlands as well.Thomas, P.V., 'Privy Council And 'Vagarant Runagate' Priests in Elizabethan York,' The Yorkshire Archaeological Journal 69 (1997), 184. Captured and found guilty in York of 'persuading the Queen's subjects away' from Protestantism, he was executed on 9 September 1587.

Pluto's court as a literary setting could bring together a motley assortment of characters. In Huon de Méry's 13th-century poem "The Tournament of the Antichrist", Pluto rules over a congregation of "classical gods and demigods, biblical devils, and evil Christians."John Block Friedman, Orpheus in the Middle Ages (Syracuse University Press, 2000), p. 238; Li Tournoiemenz Anticrit (Le tornoiement de l'Antéchrist) text.

The words in the rubric requiring the woman to come "decently apparelled", refer to the times when it was thought unbecoming for a woman to come to the service with the elaborate head-dress then the fashion. A veil was usually worn. In some parishes a special veil was provided by the church, for an inventory of goods belonging to St Benet Gracechurch in 1560 includes "a churching cloth, fringed, white damask." In pre-Reformation days, it was the custom in Catholic England for women to carry lighted tapers when being churched, an allusion to the Feast of the Purification of the Virgin (February 2), and also celebrated as Candlemas, the day chosen by the Catholic Church for the blessing of the candles for the whole year.

According to the writer Abbe Robin, who travelled through Maryland during the Revolutionary War, men of Calvert's class and status enjoyed considerable wealth and prosperity: > [Maryland houses] are large and spacious habitations, widely separated, > composed of a number of buildings and surrounded by plantations extending > farther than the eye can reach, cultivated...by unhappy black men whom > European avarice brings hither...Their furniture is of the most costly wood, > and rarest marbles, enriched by skilful and artistic work. Their elegant and > light carriages are drawn by finely bred horses, and driven by richly > apparelled slaves. In 1774, Calvert's daughter Eleanor Calvert (1758–1811), married John Parke Custis, son of Martha Washington and the stepson of George Washington. Washington himself did not approve of the match owing to the couple's youth, but eventually gave his consent,Letters of George Washington Retrieved July 31, 2010 and was present at the wedding celebrations, which took place at Mount Airy.

In 1711 Joseph Addison wrote in The Spectator: > The old song of "Chevy-Chase" is the favourite ballad of the common people > of England, and Ben Jonson used to say he had rather have been the author of > it than of all his works. Sir Philip Sidney, in his discourse of Poetry [The > Defence of Poesie], speaks of it in the following words: "I never heard the > old song of Percy and Douglas that I found not my heart more moved than with > a trumpet; and yet it is sung by some blind crowder with no rougher voice > than rude style, which being so evil apparelled in the dust and cobweb of > that uncivil age, what would it work trimmed in the gorgeous eloquence of > Pindar?" For my own part, I am so professed an admirer of this antiquated > song, that I shall give my reader a critique upon it without any further > apology for so doing.The Works of Joseph Addison: Complete in Three Volumes: > Embracing the Whole of the "Spectator," &c;, Harper & Brothers, 1837, p.

Cowley based the principle of his Pindariques on an apparent misunderstanding of Pindar's metrical practice but, nonetheless, others widely imitated his style, with notable success by John Dryden. With Pindar's metre being better understood in the 18th century, the fashion for Pindaric odes faded, though there are notable actual Pindaric odes by Thomas Gray, The Progress of Poesy and The Bard. > There was a time when meadow, grove, and stream, The earth, and every common > sight, To me did seem Apparelled in celestial light, The glory and the > freshness of a dream. It is not now as it hath been of yore;— Turn > wheresoe'er I may, By night or day, The things which I have seen I now can > see no more.... Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting: The Soul that > rises with us, our life's Star, Hath had elsewhere its setting, And cometh > from afar: Not in entire forgetfulness, And not in utter nakedness, But > trailing clouds of glory do we come From God, who is our home... (Excerpt from Wordsworth's Intimations of Immortality) Around 1800, William Wordsworth revived Cowley's Pindarick for one of his finest poems, the Intimations of Immortality ode.
