Thanks, Aga, - having the correct terminology here is a boost. I know nothing about medieval hats. The VMs Sagittarius illustration has a fairly substantial brim. Whether it is rolled or flat is impossible to say. And then there is that upper appendage - that max headroom, all unused. Is there another hat like it?
The three 'chaperon' examples are quite different among themselves. Perhaps, there can be a timeline for hats. The best representation for starters is the illustration of Philip the Good, but the upper part of the hat is nowhere near long enough. It's not as much about the chronology here, which can be easily accepted, it's more about the geography and where the most extravagant examples might show up.
