Wikipedia
Escoffion
An escoffion (French: /ɛsˈkɔfiˌjã/) was a piece of medieval headwear which was popular during the Late Middle Ages (1250 AD to 1500 AD). The headpiece was made out of a thick, circular roll of material like wool, felt or silk. The material was shaped, by sewing or starching, into a double-horned configuration, which each horn sometimes being up to a yard long. Over the headdress, gauze or silk was sometimes draped for weight distribution or aesthetic purposes. The escoffion was a type of "reticulated headdress", meaning that it was bound together by a network of golden thread or wire. The hair of the wearer was tucked away under the headdress in a number of ways; the hair could either be braided and tucked underneath the escoffion or pinned into place on each side the head in configurations sometimes known as side-pillars. Alternatively, the headdress was worn over a wimple or caul, simple pieces of cloth which kept the wearer's hair out of sight and provided a base for the larger headdress to attach on to. The piece was usually worn by women of high status, such as those who lived in the court, or those who were a part of the Royal Family. Depending on the size, some wearers were often unable to do certain activities because their mobility was hindered by the weight upon their head.
