Replying to Damien's enquiry about citole tuning's, I suspect that the
current answer is that we don't know, and that it probably varied
between musicians.
Christopher Page suggests that d, a, d', g' ("Voices and Instruments of
the Middle Ages", 1987) is likely for the citole and other contemporary
instruments.
Most recent work on the citole has been done by Kate
Buehler-McWilliams; her web-site is at www.trombamarina.com
Other material is at http://crab.rutgers.edu/-pbutler/citole.html
You may not yet know that the only remaining citole, formerly known as
the Warwick castle gittern, has now been restored by Chris Egerton and
is back on display at the British Museum, renamed as the Warwick Castle
Citole. Chris gave a talk about its restoration to the Lute Society in
April and took a party to see and discuss it.
