Heh. I think that one is my fault, at least partially. They really do
look like coffee filters, don't they?
"Fillet" is one term, "toque" is good if you subscribe to the closed-top
version, and I don't know what the medievals reallly called them. I've
heard some folks call them a "Plantaganet cap" but I don't know the
provenance of that one.
I might! Eleanor, the Countess of Leicester, sister of Henry III and
definitely a Plantagenet, wears one on her seal. The seal also has the
stylized "planta genet" (a sort of viney thing with a pod on the end),
in this case bedecked with the arms of her husband, Simon de Montfort.
(The back of the seal also notifies you that she's the sister of the
King of England. I love it :-)
Don't know if that's it, but it sure could be.
