- Abstract:
- Hair is bobbed to the jaw and cut with bangs across the forehead. Beards are infrequent; they are trim and occasionally cut in two points. After 1300 the white linen coif, worn alone or under another hat or hood, is the basic headcovering. Most often the chaperone is over the coif. It is composed of a fitted hood and an attached short cape which buttons under the chin. The back of the hood generally ends in a tail-like shape called the liripipe. The peaked hat, familiar to lovers of Robin Hood, is alone or over the hood of the chaperone.
