Abstract

Policisne de Boecia, the last printed romance of chivalry, proposes a variety of richly dressed marginal characters. The pineos, dwarves and giants are dressed mainly in three types of materials: cloth, skin and animal bones. The relationship between textiles and the narrative function of the wearer is analysed. The warlike and festive development of the characters is observed from the fabrics, as well as certain specific characteristics: texture, colour and ornament in relation to the space of the feat of arms, nature and court.
