A look at Russian prince and his closes, XI century

In the middle of IX century Russia had accepted Christianity from Byzantine Empire. At the XI century Kievan Rus (Kievan Russia), also known as Ancient Russian state, was a strong country. We have already looked at the prince of Kievan Rus of this period. And here you can see clothes, that had been wearing only by prince and his closes feudal lords. These feudal lords had wearing cloaks corzno (looks like cloaks of Byzantine) and tunics made from expensive Byzantine fabric.

A look at prince Svyatoslav's family, XI centuary

In the book of N. Kaminskaya "The history of a costume (suit)" I have red about the Russian costumes of X-XIV centuries. In the book I have found this drawing. It is from the handwritten book "Izbornik of Svyatoslav" which had been written at 1073 for Svyatoslav, a prince of Kiev. At the drawing there is prince Svyatoslav and his family.

The prince is wearing green caftan (also named svita), blue cloak corzno, round hat with the fur and green boots made from morocco (a kind of leather).
