jan 1, 1430 - quyssheld
Description:
One example noted in the undated ordinances of the York cordwainers. Evidently a process in their work but of uncertain meaning: <i>c</i>.1430 <i>xij parium ocrearum in mundumque linate fuerint, quyssheld, lased vel clasped xix d</i> (SS120/194). If it were a variant of ‘qwysshened’ it might mean padded.
