Medieval tent, made of impregnated cotton with a weight of 340 g/m2. It consists of two parts:
• bedroom
• openable vestibule

The main part is based on a structure consisting of two vertical masts and a horizontal pole. The masts are divided into 2 parts, making them easy to transport. The vestibule, on the other hand, extends the tent and can be used as a wind-catcher. This part was also based on a frame with 3 poles.

Norman's vestibule can, but does not have to be set up. This is a great option for people who do not always have a lot of space to set up a tent. Norman in the basic version takes up much less space, which makes the tent with a vestibule even more universal. It is worth adding here that without the side walls of the vestibule, Norman will still have a large flap in the front, which can be used as a roof. And interestingly, this tent will be great as a stall if you are planning a shopping trip.

Sources for the Norman tent

Norman is one of the most characteristic historical tents. Also called Saxon, they were already known in Viking times.

Tents of this type are most often seen on the pages of manuscripts from the 10th-13th centuries (but not only). They are usually closed, in the shape of the letter "T". Both open and closed Normans can be found in the so-called Psalterium Cantuariense, dated 1176-1200 and in the so-called Cotton MS Claudius B IV from the turn of the 11th and 12th centuries.
