General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Image: Image is freely licensed, used in the article, and clear at 100px.
QPQ: Done.

Overall: (1) great job unstubbing this into a mini-medieval history lesson!

(2) Approving Alts1-5 (Alt0 is confusing bc tow (fibre) is not readily understood by the layperson, and alt6 is relatively boring while all the rest are delightful DYK options); I personally prefer ALT1, ALT2 or ALT3 for their shoe-centricity and ease of readability

(3) both images are technically acceptable but I strongly recommend the square color one File:Bertrada Fulko-Berta.jpg for readability on the main page as it is both pleasant viewing and effortlessly signals "medieval" - readers can/should/will click to read for more nuance

(4) caption phrasing "and their wife" is correct and interesting (see Llewelyn's note 5 for more); however for simplicity's sake and again for the lay reader, I might recommend something simpler, such as French elites in pigaches or French royals wearing pigaches jengod (talk) 23:25, 30 July 2023 (UTC)

  • @Jengod: Thanks for the high praise but remember that people won't see it if you forget to {{ping}}, {{re}}, {{yo}}, &c. them. Anyway, thanks.

    To promoter: Personally prefer my caption, of course, & more hooky. Main thing, of course, is not adding needless links here since people should be clicking through into the article improved, not the ones doing fine on their own. — LlywelynII 09:04, 8 August 2023 (UTC)
