In Robin Hobb’s Six Duchies series-within-a-series of novels, Nettle Farseer is the daughter of Prince FitzChivalry Farseer, though she does not know that until she is almost grown. Summoned to the Royal court at Buckkeep castle to keep her safe and to have access to her talents with the Skill, she is unprepared for the political intrigue, machinations, and formal dress of a life at court. However, when she is needed elsewhere, she can ride better than any soldier or messenger. This cowl can give warmth during a Royal hunt, while giving a nod to the feminine attire required of the Royal Skillmistress.

This cowl is the companion piece to the Royal Skillmistress Gauntlets.
