Thank you! And DAMN I was way too far off. My last guess was that it has to do with Vlad the impaler nailing stuff to peoples' heads.

Turkish messengers came to [Vlad] to pay respects, but refused to take off their turbans, according to their ancient custom, whereupon he strengthened their custom by nailing their turbans to their heads with three spikes, so that they could not take them off. - Antonio Bonfini: Historia Pannonica
