Herigaut

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Charles, 6th Dauphin, from his tomb effigy. He is wearing a herigaut with tucked sleeves.

A herigaut is a gown-like garment worn in the thirteenth and early fourteenth centuries.[1] Alternative spellings include herigald, heregaud, gerygoud and herigans.[1] It was three-quarters to full length with hanging sleeves.[1] Sometimes the sleeves were tucked at the top to increase fullness below.[2] Although it was primarily a men's garment, women occasionally wore it as well.[2] Along with the garnache, it is a variant of the garde-corps,[3] and it is also related to the houppelande.[4]
