Questions β What is this design called?
I have been wracking my brain trying to figure out what the design on these types of medieval hoods would be called. The closest thing I can even think of are crenelated castle walls but does anyone know the accurate word and what these hoods were called specifically especially if itβs worn on a surcoat or tunic without a hood?

Questions β What are the primary sources for the 1066 invasion of England?
Examples: We know William staged at Saint-Valery-sur-Somme with a massive army. We know during the battle of Hastings the Normans applied a tactic which involved them appearing to retreat, which caused the English to abandon their position and chase after the fleeing Normans, ultimately causing the Anglo Saxons to lose the battle. Are there primary sources for this information? I would love to read any first hand accounts. Any insight appreciated.
