Doc - Boots
Despite their popularity with 21st century Renaissance enthusiasts, knee and thigh-high boots were fairly rare in the 16th century, restricted to mostly men on horseback. This board is for documenting those rare instances of images and extant examples of high boots, Kuhmal, or Kuhmund style boots. For ankle boots, see my Schuhe (shoe) board.

Shoes, a sock and a boot were among the footwear from 415 individuals found. About 500 men died when the ship sank. There was no list of crew names, just a list of numbers, and only the names of the vice admiral, Sir George Carew and the master, Roger Grenville are known.
1521 - Hans Holbein the Younger (1497/1498–1543) The Humiliation of Emperor Valerian by Shapur, King of Persia. Holbein drew this as a design for his murals for the Council Chamber of the Town Hall in Basel. Apart from a few fragments, the murals themselves are now lost. This drawing comes from the first phase of Holbein's work on the project, when classical narratives were used to remind councillors of the need for good government and warn against the abuse of power.
