Can anyone recommend some good websites on life in the middle ages, aimed at re-enactors or the generally interested rather than academics, and ideally including patterns for mediaeval costumes - preferably high to late middle ages?
Not quite what you are looking for, but this one might be useful anyway. Even if not, there is a lot of pretty embroidery http://medieval.webcon.net.au/index.html
