The period produced a large body of Anglo-Norman literature and an artistic style characterized in sculpture, painting, illumination, and textiles by elegance and refinement, and in architecture by grand scale, ribbed vaults covering huge spaces through a double-X design, sturdiness, dramatic lighting, and ornamentation that included chevrons, diaper pattern, and billet-molding. ]]></termNote><termCreatedDate>2026-03-30 20:30:50</termCreatedDate><relation><relationType>BT</relationType><termId>31313334</termId><termName>Northern European Medieval styles</termName><termType>PT</termType></relation></term>  </Zthes>
