A cap ‘n’ bells is a type of fool’s cap with bells worn by a court fool or jester.[1] The bells were also added to the dangling sleeves and announced the appearance of the jester.[2][3]
Other forms of fool’s cap in England were shaped like a monk’s cowl with ass’s ears, a high–pointed cap covered with bells, or a round cap with an imposing feather.[4]
