The Medieval period in Europe lasted from about 476 CE to 1450 CE. This was between the Classical Antiquity and the Renaissance. “Affluent women wore more luxurious clothing than those of the less affluent lifestyle. Women, especially those who were married, wore tight-fitting caps and nets over their hair, which was wound in a "bun" on their heads. Other women wore veils over their hair, which was left either hanging loosely, or braided tightly.” Historia Normannis is a 12th century reenactment group, focusing primarily on the events between the reign of Henry I and King John.
