Based on your link, Connie, I think HL's link shows neither a farthingale nor a crinoline, but the hoop that was used with a farthingale:
"The Spanish Farthingale: The very first farthingale that is depicted in art was essentially a brocade gown, borne out by hoops of reed, painted by Pedro Garcia de Benabarre, a late-15th century Spanish artist. This style was relatively short lived and didn't seem to exist outside of certain regions of Spain. By about 1495, the hoops moved beneath the outermost skirt but the farthingale was still far from widespread."
I've always though a Farthingale did not extend to the floor, but rather was worn around the waist to prop the top, or hip area, of the skirt.
