Historical context:
Mail caps like this one were a staple of European warfare from the early Middle Ages to the late 14th century. Favored by both infantry and mounted knights, the cap evolved over time to be integrated with coifs and quilted caps for layered defense. By the 13th century, the studded cap had spread throughout Christendom.
Its modular design allowed it to be worn with helmets such as the nasal helm or the great helm, offering vital protection without sacrificing neck mobility. As plate armor developed, caps became part of composite armor sets, falling into disuse by the 15th century.
