This is a picture of a common women's headress. In the Renaissance time the clothing consisted of heavy materials, large sleeves, and almost all hair was covered for both men and women. The headresses had many styles, and was constructed very carefully. The style shown in the picture was called "gable". They had to tie their hair back and put them into ”hairbags“ located at the back of the hat which was made of black velvet-a common clothing fabric used at the time. Noble women would use the special fabrics like velvet, and use brighter colors to show their wealth. They also had more elaborate everyday clothing that included large dome sleeves. The peasant women dressed much simpler in puritan like clothes with less color. || **Charles III** . //12th century. ABC clio: World History.

In certain countries women could not legally gain a royal crown, because it had to be passed down to a son or male blood relative. Countries such as England, Sweden, and the Byzantine Empire allowed this rite to women, in France however women were forbidden from ruling alone. ||
