And "c**t". Chaucer punned it "queynte" iirc.
Russell Crowe as Robin Hood Page 8
Just listened to one of the worst interviews ever where this woman (AJ from Radio 1 5.19 show) got to talk to Russell and basically giggled like a school girl the whole way through. It was very cringeworthy!
Did they have tights in Robin Hood's day?
I highly doubt it.
Maybe fishnet stockings.
The correct Medieval termm for leggings is 'hose', which were open at the crotch and usually worn with a codpiece.
