Margaret of Scotland, c 1483, (1910). Margaret was the Danish queen of James III of Scotland. Her headdress is an intermediate style between the butterfly and the pyramidal. It developed from the horned, or rather forked, headdress - the cleft at the upper part being now closed up. The cauls are embellished with pearls. Illustration from British Costume during 19 Centuries by Mrs Charles H Ashdown, (London, 1910).
