According to Wikipedia the Croatians were mercaneries to the French crown and Paris became enamoured of their colourful neckwear, which was then named after the wearer. But what I want to know is what is the Serbo-Croat word for a cravat. Surely not the same as the French....according to Google translate the word is 'кравата'...which translates phonetically as 'kravata'....I don't believe that!!
With peace and consolation hath dismist, And calm of mind all passion spent...
