From a purely practical point of view, the piece around the back of the
neck, forming a circle around the head, made the hood fit extremely well. I
wore mine outside, in wind, without any fasteners, bobby pins, etc. It just
sat on my head and I had no problems with it wanting to come off. It is a
good design for costume purposes.
Yes, I've seen it used for that as well in a Tudor play. If you don't
have enough hair to do the anchoring hairstyle underneath, that's a good
workaround. When I've worn mine (made based on my hypotheses and with
the proper hairstyle underneath), it was like a rock. No movement
whatsoever.
