Hi Melanie, After I thought I had it figured out, and made my French hood similar to the one in the Tudor Tailor (as I wanted one before the style shown in the Mary Tudor coin), I found this image in a book on illumination just a couple of weeks later. http://www.kimiko1.com/research-16th/FrenchHood/1530/BathshebaHead1.html http://www.kimiko1.com/research-16th/FrenchHood/1530/BathshebaHead2.html from this original http://www.kimiko1.com/research-16th/FrenchHood/1530/Bathsheba.html It shows clearly the style you mention, which threw out the lovely French hood I had just finished. http://www.kimiko1.com/dressdiaries/1545FrenchHood/index.html But don't worry, I will be making one in the new, improved style. I would love to see yours when you are done.

In every case, the fall is a flat tube that emerges from the crown of the head, not a round one whose slanted top circumference circles the back of the head. Compare the three images linked above to Mikhaila and Malcolm-Davies's reconstruction at http://www.kissthefrog.co.uk/images/C16th/Elizhood2005.jpg
