Possibly useful clothing note: the grosse Manessische Liederhandschrift
has easy-to-imitate clothing. Even if you can't read German, the pictures
might be helpful. Actually, even if you can read modern German, the poems
aren't: they're in Middle High German.

I have no documentation to offer, but I don't recall any doubled first
names in the period you've chosen.

Have fun! erilar
