To my knowledge -- and blackwork isn't my "thing" -- blackwork is
later than 1400. There are more knowledgeable folks on this list than
I in that respect.

There is a form called Assisi work, uses the same stitches as blackwork, but
was often worked in red, and I believe there's extant examples of that from
the 12th cen. (1100's). I'll see what I can dig up.
