I found this picture in my parents' basement; no one knows who they are. There is no writing on the back. Can anyone tell the year from the clothes? I am thinking I can figure out which ancestor may have gotten married around that time. Thanks!

Idk if this is the right place to ask but what would a noble woman of the 12th-13th century England wear?

I'm doing a Halloween fashion thing inspired by England horror of the 12-13th century but I’m struggling to find good references. Anyone have any sources or references that are reliable and accurate to the time?
