    King Baldwin was covered completely head to toe in his regal king attire, an all white robe, with gold embroidery put into it, alongside a matching headdress. His arms and legs were wrapped completely in bandages but he also put white gloves over his hands, so to cover up his sores, and perhaps his most distinguishing feature, his silver masks were used so to cover his face and hide his disfigurement as a result of leprosy.
