List Of Medieval Armour Components
This list identifies various pieces of body armour worn from the medieval to early modern period in the Western world, mostly plate armour, plate but some mail armour, arranged by the part of body that is protected and roughly by date. It does not identify fastening components or various appendages such as lance rests or plumeholders, or clothing such as tabards or surcoats, which were often worn over a harness. There are a variety of alternative names and spellings (such as ''cowter'' or ''couter''; ''bassinet'', ''bascinet'' or ''basinet''; and ''besagew'' or ''besague'') which often reflect a word introduced from French. Generally, the English spelling has been preferred (including ''mail'' instead of the lately used ''maille'' or the inauthentic term ''chainmail''). The part of armour on the hand is called the ''gauntlet'', which is based on a French word. Japanese analogues The following components of Japanese armour roughly match the position and function of certain ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Armet
The armet is a type of combat helmet which was developed in the 15th century. It was extensively used in Italy, France, England, the Low Countries and Spain. It was distinguished by being the first helmet of its era to completely enclose the head while being compact and light enough to move with the wearer. Its use was essentially restricted to the fully armoured man-at-arms. Appearance and origins As the armet was fully enclosing, and narrowed to follow the contours of the neck and throat, it had to have a mechanical means of opening and closing to enable it to be worn. The typical armet consisted of four pieces: the skull, the two large hinged cheek-pieces which locked at the front over the chin, and a visor which had a double pivot, one either side of the skull. The cheek-pieces opened laterally by means of horizontal hinges; when closed they overlapped at the chin, fastening by a spring-pin which engaged in a corresponding hole, or by a swivel-hook and pierced staple.

Barbute MET DP-12880-047
A barbute (also termed a barbuta, which in Italian literally means "bearded", possibly because the beard of a wearer would be visible) is a visorless war helmet of 15th-century Italian design, often with a distinctive T-shaped or Y-shaped opening for the eyes and mouth. Origins The name 'barbuta', when applied to a helmet, is first recorded in an inventory made for the Gonzaga family of Mantua in 1407. The helmet can be considered as a specialised form of the sallet, both types of helmet being ultimately derivations of the earlier bascinet. The barbute resembles classical Greek helmets (most strikingly the Corinthian) and may have been influenced by the renewed interest in ancient artefacts common during this period. Characteristics This type of helmet has been described as an example of formal beauty being the result of functional efficiency. The defining characteristic of the barbute is the forward extension of the sides of the helmet towards the mid-line; this gives protec ...

Stahlhelm
The ''Stahlhelm'' (German for "''steel helmet''") is a term used to refer to a series of German steel combat helmet designs intended to protect the wearer from common battlefield hazards such as shrapnel. The armies of the great powers began to issue steel helmets during World War I as a result of combat experience and experimentation. The German Army (German Empire), German Army began to replace the boiled leather ''Pickelhaube'' with the ''Stahlhelm'' in 1916. The ''Stahlhelm's'' distinctive ''coal scuttle'' shape, was instantly recognizable and became a common element of propaganda on both sides, like the ''Pickelhaube'' before it. The name was used by ''Der Stahlhelm, Bund der Frontsoldaten, Der Stahlhelm'', a German veterans' organization that existed from 1918 to 1935. After World War II, both East Germany, East and West Germany, West German militaries adopted helmets unrelated to the archetypical German helmet designs from the world wars, but continued to refer to the n ...

Sallet
The sallet (also called ''celata'', ''salade'' and ''schaller'') was a combat helmet that replaced the bascinet in Italy, western and northern Europe and Hungary during the mid-15th century. In Italy, France and England the armet helmet was also popular, but in Germany the sallet became almost universal. Origins The origin of the sallet seems to have been in Italy, where the term ''celata'' is first recorded in an inventory of the arms and armour of the House of Gonzaga, Gonzaga family dated to 1407. In essence, the earliest sallets were a variant of the bascinet, intended to be worn without an aventail or visor (armor), visor. To protect the face and neck, left exposed by abandonment of the visor and aventail, the rear was curved out into a flange to protect the neck, and the sides of the helmet were drawn forward below the level of the eyes to protect the cheeks. The latter development was most pronounced in the barbute or ''barbuta,'' a variation of the sallet that adopted ele ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Bascinet
The bascinet – also bassinet, basinet, or bazineto – was a Medieval European open-faced combat helmet. It evolved from a type of iron or steel Cervelliere, skullcap, but had a more pointed apex to the skull, and it extended downwards at the rear and sides to afford protection for the neck. A mail curtain (aventail or camail) was usually attached to the lower edge of the helmet to protect the throat, neck and shoulders. A visor (armor), visor (face guard) was often employed from c. 1330 to protect the exposed face. Early in the fifteenth century, the camail began to be replaced by a plate metal gorget, giving rise to the so-called "great bascinet". Early development The first recorded reference to a bascinet, or ''bazineto'', was in the Italian city of Padua in 1281, when it is described as being worn by infantry.Nicolle (1999-journal), p. 583. It is believed that the bascinet evolved from a simple iron skullcap, (''Encyclopædia Britannica'', "Helmet") known as the cerv ...

Cervelliere
A cervelliere (cervelière, cervelliera; , , '', '') is a hemispherical, close-fitting skull cap of steel or iron. It was worn as a helmet during the medieval period and a version known as a ''secret'' was worn under felt hats during the Wars of the Three Kingdoms in the early modern period. History The cervelliere was first introduced during the late 12th century. It was worn either alone or more often over or under a mail coif. Additionally, a great helm could be worn over a cervelliere, and by the late 13th century this was the usual practice. Over time, the cervelliere experienced several evolutions. Many helmets became increasingly pointed and the back of the skull cap elongated to cover the neck, thus developing into the bascinet. Cerveillieres were worn throughout the medieval period and even during the Renaissance.Douglas Miller, ''Armies of the German Peasants' War 1524-26'' (Oxford: Osprey Publishing, 2003), 47.
