[h-cost] looking for a website about a 13th century spanish burial

[Mary]

Please help save my sanity. I saw a website about a year ago  about a 13th 
century Spanish burial of a young girl. She had on a yellow silk overdress with 
blue horizontal stripes. I think the underdress might have been red. The 
website was in Spainish. 

I was talking with a friend last night about this and she seems to remember 
seeing the overdress only on another site with a bunch of other extant medieval 
clothing. There was something odd about the construction of the gore at the 
front of the dress. 

I've checked Marc Carlson's Some Clothing of the the Middle Ages and Heather 
Rose Jones's site and didn't see anything close. I've Googled the heck out of 
this. Does this ring a bell with anyone?

Many thanks,
Mary 

usually much better at this

I don't know this website, but I think you may mean the saya from
Burgos, shown Marc's site:
http://www.personal.utulsa.edu/~marc-carlson/cloth/burgsite.html

About halfway down this page:
http://www.virtue.to/articles/extant.html
Cynthia Virtue has a pellote from the same find.  Also from the same
find is a male infant's pellote that's yellowish beige with horizontal
dark blue stripes (I have an image of it in my files, listed as
belonging to Fernando, son of Alfonso X).  I also have a color photo
of Leonora of Aragon's saya, but it's not a very good quality--the
saya looks generally brown, with black or blue gores.

The images I have are from:
http://www.kostym.cz/ which for some reason no longer seems to allow
direct links, and is otherwise being weird.  Clink on the UK flag,
then on European Medieval... 88, then click on next until you see
something likely.  This site also mentions a c1235 surcotte belonging
to the infanta Marie at the Museo de Traje in Madrid, which you might
also want to look at.

Anyway, this might at least give you a bit of a start at finding the
website!  From looking at Marc's site, you might want to search for
the Museo de Telas Medievales in Burgos, Spain.
