Baron's Coronet

The barons of England originally wore scarlet caps turned up with white: afterwards crimson caps turned up with ermine, closed at the top with a tassel of gold, which was continued till the reign of Charles II when, upon their petition, a coronet was granted to them by patent dated 6th July 1661, composed of a plain rim of gold with six pearls, only four of which are seen when depicted.
