Charles VI of France was married to Isabelle/Isabeau/Isabel of Bavaria. The
only Anne of Bavaria that i can find was born in the 1600s.
The hennins in France and Burgundy were varied.

I need to purchase 26 men's period cotton all-in-ones of various sizes. The

Robin: My brilliant, and by-lingual intern showed me how to access Gay

Audrey noted earlier that hennin meant rooster in French, so the story
could be true ... or it could be a completely straightforward derivation!
The meaning of the word is not necessarily an insult itself.
No, careful! The FRENCH word hennin comes from the Netherlandish for

Thanks Linda and Rebecca.
The jacket is fully lined so I'd have to undo it somewhere to turn it inside

Shelly and her brilliant intern get the virtual chocolate! I had a feeling
that if the clue existed, it would be in Gay, but I didn't think to try
looking it up online. Gay indeed had the detailed original story of the
children sent to mock the women in the high hats. And it's dated to 1428.

Someone prominent who wore the head-dress? Or maybe some common first

are male, and these are female
fashions. Yes, I know a cock has a
comb on its head but still, this
seems to be a stretch. Even if it's
an insult, it seems to me that there
