A chaperon is a headgear in a form of hood worn by men and women in all parts of Western Europe in the Middle Ages.
This medieval headwear consists of a thick border (bourrelet/rondel), a tail (cornette/liripipe) and a loosely hanging piece of fabric (cape/patte).
It developed later into a complex, versatile and expensive item of headgear after what was originally the vertical opening for the face began to be used as a horizontal opening for the head.
The chaperon was especially fashionable in mid-15th century Burgundy, before gradually falling out of fashion in the late-15th century.
