During the reign of Henry VI, the hood began to be superseded by the use of hats among the higher classes.
Strana 15 - ... should be worn over the black gown only, and (though the arrangement is seldom attended to) not over the surplice, because it then usurps the place of other tippets of at least equal if not greater importance.
