Just read a review of Medieval Clothing and Textiles 4. Here's the money quote:
"In the final essay, [Ellid] examines a mysterious green quilt listed in Henry VIII's estate inventory, described as old and worn, but nevertheless singled out for an unusually careful description. Ingeniously combining a consideration of the use of heraldic symbols by Spanish and English royals, the history and significance of the quilt as a status symbol among wealthy Europeans in this era, and the politics of Henry VIII's marriage and divorce of Catherine of Aragon, [Ellid] argues convincingly that the quilt held and retained a special importance."
The best part? The quote was from a review by this academic in this publication.
I think I've hit the big time.
