Meaning of Savegard and Russells
By BURIENSIS.
In the will of Elizabeth Coddington, lady of the manor of Ixworth, 1571, mention is made of "the red russells quilt," of "a felde bed," and of "my cloke and *savegard of freseadon*." I shall be obliged by any description of the garment known as the *savegard*, and of the *russells quilt*.
