Helms - Salet, Barbuta, Bascinet, Armet

 

 

 

 


Different types of helms would evolve, as mobility, line of sight and breathing became a necessity, while still having effective protection for the head. Some would be quite cumbersome, such as the great helm. Some would be less so, and as such not as protective, such as some of the viking and celtic types.

"Pig-faced" Bascinet
"Pig-faced" Bascinet"Pig-faced" Bascinet Evolving in the latter part of the 14th century as an effort to solve the cumbersome nature of the Great helm and the lack of protection of the Spangen helm, this helm sported a visor which projected very strongly in a point and was therefore named the "pigface" or "dogface" bascinet. The full coif of chainmail was shortened to an "aventail" and was suspended from the bottom of the helm to guard the neck. This helm, worn with a chainmail shirt, and accompanied by the 14th century harness would be an essentially historically correct outfit. Black with gold or silver trim. Adjustable leather liner.
