Women here are wearing underpants.
Scholars for years posited that medieval women didn’t wear underwear. This always struck me as impractical. After samples of women’s underwear were found in a castle in Austria in 2008, dating from 1480, the underwear issue has been reconsidered.

These look pretty convincing to me!
This too was part of the underwear found in Austria.
I do not weigh in on this controversial issue in The Viscountess and the Templars. Yet you will find a lot of interesting things about the medieval world in the book.
