French hood

Elizabeth Seymour wearing a French hood.  Hans Holbein the Younger, c. 1540

A French hood is a type of woman's headgear popular in Western Europe in the sixteenth century.

The French hood is characterized by a rounded shape, contrasted with the angular "English" or gable hood. It is worn over a coif, and has a black veil attached to the back. It was introduced to England primarily by Anne Boleyn, who had been raised in France. Its use was thus subsequently rejected by Anne's successor, Jane Seymour, but returned to fashion after Jane's death. It was also championed by Anne Boleyn's cousin and fellow ill-fated wife of Henry VIII, Catherine Howard. It is similar to the Russian kokoshnik, but they are not related. The front part of the hair was always visible.
