This century contained decades of crusading battles, beginning with the Fourth Crusade (to Byzantine Constantinople) and concluding with the crusade that many count as the last, the Eighth Crusade (to Tunisia in North Africa). Many twelfth and thirteenth century seals of abbots and bishops depicted ecclesiastical vestments. These seals show religious figures wearing miters along with their liturgical vestments in the early thirteenth century, suggesting that the popularity of miters increased around then. There are records of earlier miters, but it seems like more of them were produced in the thirteenth century.
