Miracles happen (or perhaps
the staff are lurking here). The Leicester Mercury has published an article
featuring JAH and the crown he's having fashioned for Richard.

Well, hats of those times *were* pretty silly... I always wonder if people swooning over historical romance novels imagine their dashing heroes wearing some of these ;)

http://www.virtue.to/articles/men_roll_hats.html
I even remember seeing some contemporary illustrations of men wearing tall hats closely resembling long Burgundian hennins - alas, I can't find them right now (I've got hundreds of pictures stored on my computer)...

Turner and called the March from Leicester Shows Richard on his horse without

Don't get me started on the pointy shoes! And I'm not too fond of the women's headgear, either. I love the earlier divided hennins, and the regular hennin (tall or truncated) with a frontlet looks quite pretty too, but a hennin without a frontlet is ghastly. For some reason, I especially hate the English truncated hennin circa 1470s (à la Elizabeth Woodville, or the Neville ladies in Rous Roll)... I just don't understand what's so fashionable about looking like your face is 80% forehead and the back of your skull elongated like that of a humanoid from outer space.
But then, I don't understand modern fashion either, so perhaps I'm just a fuddy-duddy by nature ;)
