Bjarne, you've been given many good suggestions. The first 17th Century
program I ever saw was one of the earliest Masterpiece Theater (BBC)
productions. It was "The First Churchills." This was before I had interest
in costuming, so I don't know if the costumes are any good, but I thought it
was quite lush at the time.

You've reminded me. I don't know if any of these are available on DVD
but here goes.
History of the English Speaking People (based on Churchill's book,
and some costumes made by Jean Hunnisett - good shapes, odd fabrics.)
Wars of the Roses - based on Shakespeare's plays, recording of the
Royal Shakespeare Company's stage production - fabulous shapes, wrong
fabrics (cottons with glue and glitter patterns - very effective on stage)
The Age of Kings Kings from 1066 in England - don't remember costumes!
