Helm		Shoulders (Pauldrons)
Great Helm	Kettle Helm	C15th Pauldrons	C15th Churburg Pauldrons

The Great Helm evolved out of a need for greater protection for the head and neck and was first seen towards the end of the 12th century. It was a very popular style of helmet worn by knights and men-at-arms in most European armies and was also worn by knights of the crusading orders such as the Knights Templar. It offered superior protection to the open face nasal helmet of the previous century	The Kettle Hat was favoured by the English infantryman and man at arms throughout the medieval period and was popular during the 100 Years War. It was simple to manufacture and offered good protection against projectiles. This design was so effective that it came back into service with the British military in World War 1 and 2. The name derives from the Germanic word “cetel” or “cietel” alluding to its deep cauldron like shape. It was also known as a “war hat” and “Chapel-de-fer” (hat of iron).	Shoulder armour that dates from around 1460 and is suitable for the end of 14th to the middle of 15th century. A pierced leather strap allows you use it in almost any arming garment. The strap features 2 holes that a lace can be threaded through to allow it to be tied to a breastplate or arming jacket.	The original armour is part of what´s known as "S18" in the Churburg armoury. It has characteristic besagews attached to the shoulders, something quite unique compared with other surviving pieces. Although originally dated the first part of the 15th century, some specialists maintain it might be dated from 1370-1410. The original piece that this set is based on supposedly belonged to Count Matsch and is known to be a Lombard work.

Medieval Bevor	Medieval Gorget	C14th - C15th Articulated Bevor (Type A)	C14th - C15th Articulated Bevor (Type B)

The bevor was a component of a medieval suit of armour. It was usually a single piece of plate armour protecting the chin and throat and filling the gap between the helmet and breastplate. The bevor could also extend over the knight’s left shoulder doubling the thickness of the armour. The bevor was originally worn in conjunction with a type of helmet known as a sallet. With the close helm and burgonet, developments of the sallet in the late medieval and Renaissance period, the bevor became a hinged plate protecting the lower face and throat.	The French word 'gorge' meaning throat, was a band of linen wrapped around a woman's neck and head in the medieval period. The term later described a steel or leather collar to protect the throat, a set of pieces of plate armour, or a single piece of plate armour hanging from the neck and covering the throat and chest. Later, particularly from the 18th century, the gorget became primarily ornamental, serving as a symbolic accessory on military uniforms, a use which has survived in some armies.	The 14th-15th Century Articulated Bevor is made in the style of central Europe circa 1480 to 1500.	This bevor is made in the style of central Europe circa 1480 to 1500.

Body		Arms
Italian Back & Breast (Churburg)	Gothic Cuirass Back & Breast	Elbow Armour - D	C14th Arm Armour

Based on the S18 harness from the Churburg armoury, this piece is dated from the 15th century - although some specialists believe that it can be dated from 1370 to 1410. The original armour that this set is based on supposedly belonged to the Von Matsch family and is thought to be a Lombard work.	Gothic Armour was a popular style of armour in England and Germany during the late 15th Century. It was influenced by the peaks and ridges of Gothic architecture and art of the period and by the 1480's it was considered to be the best armour in Europe. It was worn by knights and nobles on both sides in the Wars of the Roses where it afforded excellent protection against the arrow storms associated with the battles of this period.	Elbow couters (also known as elbow cops) are a curved piece of plate armour that protects the elbow joint during battle.	Arm protection, such as those replicated here, could be found in the early 15th century in the "Transitional Period" of armours. Based on several funerary brasses, the style of these arms with round wings can be seen combined with chainmail and mittens at the beginning of the century. This versatile protection can be combined with several pieces to offer an extremely wide range of armour combinations.
