Catherine of Aragon wore a gable hood, named after the gable of a house. it had a pointed top and stiff flaps which framed the face. The length of the sides of a gable hood, sometimes called a spanish hood, changed over time; however in Catherine of Aragon's time, they were typically slightly longer than past the jaw with flared ends.

Which one of Henry VIII wives looked like a horse?
After the death of his third wife, Jane Seymour, Henry VIII (1491 - 1547) was eventually persuaded to marry again, but this fourth wife, Anne of Cleves (1515 - 1557) was chosen via a portrait Henry had commissioned from Hans Holbein. When he saw her in the flesh, on New Year's Day 1540, he was extremely unhappy with her appearance, (apparently he called her "the Flanders Mare", although to be fair, she did not look like a horse!). Henry went ahead and married Anne on 6 January 1540, but refused to consummate the marriage, so eventually this was annulled nearly 5 months later. But at least Anne of Cleves was "paid off" and did not lose her head. She received a generous divorce settlement and remained on good terms with the king. Anne died in 1557, with declining health.

It said that Bloody Mary will appear and kill you if you say her name three times while looking in a mirror. There are many variations of the legend, including that it has to be a bathroom mirror, or varying the number of times the name must be spoken.
