Discussion
Cloaks do not appear to be a garment worn by women, they are not seen in manuscripts. The manuscript immages appear to suggest the cloak was a male garement and women wore a mantle. Whether this is also the case in the lower ranks of society, where a mantle would be less practical in everyday life, is hard to say.
Palla
The Palla is a large headcovering, which also covers the shoulders and back and is fastened with a brooch at the neck. It is also listed under headcoverings, but is mentioned hear as it does look like a cloak that also covers the head.

Art
- T49:15v shows a cloak like garment that seems to be pinned to front of the dress below the shoulder.
- T64:f.57v the woman on the right seems to be wearing a short version on a mantle that is belted all the way around. Whether this is a poor version of a mantle or some other poncho style garment is not clear.
