Incidentally, there has been much discussion over whether the chap is actually a monk, due to his tonsure (he's not "wearing something on his head") and general dress. That section of the Psalter is full of hunters and archers.
Yeah, I'll have to be more careful. I have a bad habit of sometimes not being profound about sources in non-formal writing especially when I see that it can be easily found on a search: googling manuscript 1320-1340 quickly produces a full page of Luttrell Psalter results.
I agree with you that it's a tonsure (on the existence of which I was ignorant). Anyway, the Cathars hated those Catholic superstitions, so it is easy to see why they decided to cover the tonsure with a hat!
