It's not really the same kind of hat as a poofy beret. It has a chinstrap and a second layer around the edge that flattens the outside the perimeter (it might be metal, but I'm not sure, there are some crowns that are designed like this, metal on the edge and a pushed-down fabric in the middle, crowns from Graz are sometimes designed like this, but without a chin strap). A beret poofs out on the sides and never has a chin strap (it's not really called a beret if it has a chinstrap).
Hmm, I'm still trying to figure out this headgear. It almost looks like a prince's crown worn over a night-cap.
Great, but I think it might also be helpful or even more helpful to concentrate on the hat with a little circle on top. It might reflect some type of religious or academic status which could help us to identify the authors of the VMS.
Morten, what are you talking about? Where is there a hat with a little circle on top? The noble person on the left (king??) is wearing a traditional metal crown with a fleur-de-lis shaped edge.
The student or prince on the right is wearing a less fancy chinstrap hat that might also be a crown. Behind him are four other boys with no hats, two of them with their faces partly obscured by his hat.
