So I was searching out a school a relative attended in Tuscany in the 30s. The nuns wore a distinctive wimple. As I searched on the wimple, I discovered that according to the first website brought up, that of course wimples were brought back by the Crusaders to the benighted women of the Western culture. Muslims taught western women to use wimples. Because of course Western women were too darned stupid to cover their heads themselves, although they had been doing it for millennia.
I have noticed recently that many historical reads say that Islam and Muslims have taught the west just about everything.
Nothing like bits and bites to hold history.

The definition presented by Merriam Webster Dictionary:
wimple noun
wim·ple ˈwim-pəl
1: a cloth covering worn over the head and around the neck and chin especially by women in the late medieval period and by some nuns.
So yes, a blatant attempt to rewrite hitory, without a doubt.

What old works tell the truth about this?
