Quoting [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
is Elizabeth of York wearing a predecessor of the gable hood? Or is that considered to be the same thing, just with the side flaps flipped down instead of pinned up? Does anyone have more images of that type of headdress?
It's called a kennel hood/headdress--and yep, it is the direct ancestor of the gable hood; in fact, most places will just call it "early gable hood". It seems to show up a ton on monumental brasses and effigies from around 1490-1510, though not too many paintings. Here's the Elizabeth of York portrait probably being copied by that dynastic portrait:
