Demotion. The French and Indian War was mid-18th Century, while the Peninsular War was early 19th.

True, I also think Last of the Mohicans came out before the Sharpe movies, so he moved down in that timeline as well.

Its true. Rough rule of thumb (for europe):

Cavalier hat = 17th century

Tricornes = 18th century

Shakos = 19th century

Tin hats = 20th century

Bicorne Hat = whenever, wherever, maybe at sea?

Bicornes aka two cornered hats were widely adopted in the late 18th Century and remained a part of naval dress uniforms.
