Description
Excerpt from Dresses and Decorations of the Middle Ages, Vol. 1 During the anglo-saxon period the common dress of the ecclesiastics does not appear to have differed much from that of the laity. The ceremonial robes resembled those of a later period, except that the mitre was not yet in use. The tonsure was received among the anglo-saxon clergy early, though not without considerable Opposition.
