Subject: Re: [h-cost] Name of horned 14th century headdress?

It could be a form of "minotaur"?  See the last illustration on this page:  
http://www.mainlesson.com/display.php?author=abbott&book=richard2&story=anne

Extremely Victorian drawing style!  and apparently from a Victorian era 
children's history book. A couple really look like bull's horns, and my 
subconscious eventually popped the "minotaur" connection!

That's all I've been able to come up with so far. 

Oh, the book appears to be:  Mistress of the monarchy : the life of Katherine 
Swynford, Duchess of Lancaster / Alison Weir.  My Public Library's copy is out, 
or I'd look it up in the text...
