[QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Habsburg: [qb] When one looks at the attire of the people in this gathering it isn't difficult to see the Moorish connections. It looks like it was Moors everywhere in medieval Europe, only that the word Moor itself was used to describe Muslims, North Africans and their cousins in the Iberian peninsula.

However if you want to be 100% accurate it depicts the transmitted accumulated cultural artifacts of the various peoples absorbed into the Islamic fold: Persia, Central Asia, Africa and so forth. Winged horses and other such 'fantasy' creatures are found in many cultures in the East from Babylon to Armenia, Persia, Egypt and Arabia. But of course to hear them tell it, this is all their own unique invention..... Flora decoration and mystical beasts, the garden of paradise, love poetry, troubadours all of Islamic origin, fancy capes, embroidered gowns and all the trimmings as well.
