Dress in Europe evolved slowly towards uniformity, with distinct differences emerging over time as national divisions and wars hindered the exchange of new styles. The figures here are based on those in the British Museum's Silos Apocalypse manuscript, written by the scribes Beatus of Liébana and Dominicus in 1091 and illustrated by Petrus in 1109. The group of four figures depict Spanish warriors from the late 11th century, resembling Anglo-Norman soldiers in both style and attire, as seen in the Bayeux Tapestry. This similarity suggests military customs influenced by the Saracens, supported by Arabic Cufic inscriptions found on shields of 10th and 11th-century German and Frankish barons. Notably, the Spanish warriors' armour includes round shields with intricate designs. Also appearing are two minstrels, or jongleurs, seemingly dancing on wooden stilts. There are reasons to believe they were Christians, reflecting the Christian traditions of twelfth- and thirteenth-century Europe, although many of the tales they performed were of Arabian origin. These Spanish jongleurs, with their oriental appearance, offer valuable insight into the early classes of medieval society.
