The hennin (French: hennin French pronunciation: [enɛ̃]; possibly from Flemish Dutch: henninck meaning cock or rooster) was a headdress in the shape of a cone, steeple, or truncated cone worn in the Late Middle Ages by European women of the nobility. They were most common in Burgundy and France, but also at the English courts, and in Northern Europe.
