Product description
Bevors like this were developed in the second half of the 15th century. They protected the vulnerable neck and were usually worn in combination with a sallet, kettle helmet, or, at the beginning of the 16th century, with a burgonet. The sallet-bevor combination was the most common, and both pieces could be attached in various ways.
-
Sallet half over the head – provides an optimal field of vision.
-
Sallet half over the head with bevor closed – provides an optimal field of vision with extra facial protection.
-
Sallet flat on the head with visor open – allows an optimal field of vision and is useful for giving commands in battle.
-

-

At the back, this bevor has a leather strap for fastening it securely around the neck.
