So the band was kept for 400 years to become part of a 12th Century mitre? That's amazing. And where was the mitre from? Is it from Switzerland?   It's hard to kill a brocaded TW band, so they were often recycled and found on later garments.  And yes, I believe the mitre was Swiss, at least in that general area of the world.   Nancy
