My family was murdered by Armenian mercenaries in 1914. I read detailed views from all sources. Armenian sources seemed to be not based on facts. Infact, they do not mention any Turkish deaths at all and for their casualties of up to 300,000(mostly famine), they claim a number of casualties, higher then the total Armenian population. It was very clear that the Armenians were very well off in the Ottoman Turkish Empire and had many high positions. They maintained their culture, language and religion in tact and perhaps stronger, under Turkish rule for 1,000 years. During the late 19th century, missionaries from the West formed schools in Ottoman Turkiye, attended mostly by Armenians. It was here that the Armenians were encouraged to rebel. Many joined terror groups, blowing up targets throughout Turkiye. Note, this is before WW1. By the late 1890s, they had an Army of 100,000 armed mainly by Russia to ethnically cleanse the Caucasus of Turks so that they can reach Bagdad oilfields.

I'm looking specifically at the period between the Conquest (1066) and the Domesday Book (1086).

Would they have worn, for dress wear, not necessarily on the battlefield, half circle mantles at all?

If only the shoulder-pin rectangular cloaks (like in the Bayeaux tapestry), could they have been embroidered? Where? Along the the short ends?
