You can see some livery collars at m -- there's generally a pretty standard set of links involved with the various orders (or the Lancastrian esses, or Yorkist roses-and-suns). There's certainly also the more decorative collars (like the ones Henry VIII seemed particularly inclined towards wearing i...

Re: Surnames
It gradually fades from records in the 14th century and into the 15th, but still appears periodically to this day. (It happens [IMHO] because the records stop being in Latin and start being in English.) It seems to parallel the drop of "le" in occupational & descriptive surnames. See m...

Definitely. I think the close-fitting one will be especially well-suited for your heraldry. The examples at http://larsdatter.com/mens-surcoats.htm will certainly help you consider the placement of the cinquefoils & stripes on a white surcoat (or jupon, or whatever)

m is a list of women's names from around that time, but it does provide some useful sources in the bibliography. You could also check out m and/or m -- and maybe m if you want to consider the Italian and/or Latin version of a name (several of the given names in there are clearly of Norman derivation).
