I'd be grateful for guidance to images of priestly vestments of the finer kind (high status) worn to celebrate the Catholic Eucharist in the mid-C14th.

Good question. A large proportion of parishes (in Scotland and England anyway) were 'appropriated' by Abbeys/monasteries and those close-by would be tended by a monk, so a simple plain black, white, grey or brown cassock might be the thing for those? Otherwise a white surplice over a black robe. An appropriated parish would have a 'vicar' (substitute), other wise a 'Rector' or 'Parson'.

Thanks. A little higher status than that, I was thinking. In fact let's say royal. Oh, and maybe definitely English.

(Is there something about Catholic I didn't understand?)
