Wow, that is some really cool information, Melanie. So, does that allow you to draw any conclusions
about the gable headdress?( http://www.tudor-portraits.com/UnknownLady5.jpg) It almost looks like it could be the same hood, only with the fall(s) attached on the bottom instead of the top (and, of course, there were two falls). I've always thought that if someone made a timeline of images showing how the gable and French hood headdresses evolved from earlier fashions, it would help us figure out what's under there. But then, maybe you would need to know what was under there before you could make such a timeline.

The same shape appears in every profile image I have found so far, from 1530 on. Melanie Schuessler ________________________________________________________________________ Check out the new AOL.
