Hats and Headwear

There is virtually nothing available on headwear in the archaeology  for the Middle Ages.

• St. Birgitta's Coif
• Fernando, Infante de Castille's Coif
• Herjolfsnes no.86
• Herjolfsnes no.87
• Hat from Little Sampford Cache

For comparison to materials that were found in illustrations and such, you can take a look at an incomplete site here.

• For a history and suggested reconstruction design for a Monmouth Cap, see here.
