Presumably this is the precursor to the veils which appear later in the 12th century, but I have no evidence from the late 11th century to support them being worn in the 11th century.

The Bliaut Files, or 12th Century Western European Clothing 12th century clothing research is an exercise in detective work, with as many red herrings and false leads as that implies.
