But the word never appears in the Paston Letters, where there are many references to hats, hoods and bonnets for men. Ĭhaperon was sometimes used in English, and also German, for both the hood and hat forms ( OED). In Italian the equivalent terms were foggia, becchetto, and mazzocchio. Patte, cornette and bourrelet were the usual terms in the French of the 15th century Burgundian court, and are used here. Later a round bourrelet (or rondel) could form part of the assemblage. The cape element was a patte in French and in English cape, or sometimes cockscomb when fancily cut. The tail of the hood, often quite long, was called the tippit or liripipe in English, and liripipe or cornette in French. The hood was loose at the back, and sometimes ended in a tail that came to a point.Ĭhaperon is a diminutive of chape, which derives, like the English cap, cape and cope, from the Late Latin cappa, which already could mean cap, cape or hood ( OED).
In this form it continued through to the end of the Middle Ages, worn by the lower classes, often by women as well as men, and especially in Northern Europe. There were wool ones, used in cold weather, and lighter ones for summer. The edge of the cape was often trimmed, cut or scalloped for decorative effect. The hood could be pulled off the head to hang behind, leaving the short cape round the neck and shoulders. The chaperon began before 1200 as a hood with a short cape, put on by pulling over the head, or fastening at the front. A relatively simple wool chaperon, with bourrelet, and cornette hanging forward. It is the most commonly worn male headgear in Early Netherlandish painting, but its complicated construction is often misunderstood. It was especially fashionable in mid-15th century Burgundy, before gradually falling out of fashion in the late 15th century and returning to its utilitarian status. Initially a utilitarian garment, it first grew a long partly decorative tail behind called a liripipe, and then developed into a complex, versatile and expensive headgear after what was originally the vertical opening for the face began to be used as a horizontal opening for the head. Ī chaperon ( / ˈ ʃ æ p ər oʊ n/ or / ˈ ʃ æ p ər ɒ n/ Middle French: chaperon) was a form of hood or, later, highly versatile hat worn in all parts of Western Europe in the Middle Ages.
