The extravagances of headwear in the late fifteenth century was so notorious that it prompted the retaliation of a number of religious and moralist groups of the time, who likened the shape of some pieces of headwear to a goat or ram, animals which were strongly associated with Baphomet, a deity representative of the Devil. This did not dissuade many women of the court or higher class to change their style until the early 16th century, when many adopted styles that were more simplistic and conservative. The new style of headwear which would gain popularity, especially in England, into the 16th century was the 'gable' hood, a piece of headwear which covered most of the face and hair and had a starched, steeple-shaped point in the middle of the head.
