There is a modern popular myth that belt length signified relative status (the longer the belt, the more important the person).
This idea is total rubbish and is not supported by pictorial evidence from the period. Kings are often shown with very short belts, while knights often have long belt-ends - but some are shown as being short. Wealthy nobles, both male and female, are shown with belt-ends of different lengths from very short to very long. It was clearly a matter of personal choice and nothing at all to do with indicating social status.
