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.
