Product description

The burgonet helmet (sometimes also called a Burgundian sallet) was a combat helmet from the Renaissance. It was developed from the sallet in the early 16th century. Burgonets were very popular throughout Europe and were worn by the aristocracy, demi-lancers, cavalrymen, and cuirassiers. In the Anglo-Scottish border region, the Elizabethan Border Reivers were particularly known for their fondness of this type of helmet.

The shape of this helmet is indirectly influenced by the Greenwich style. The crest on this helmet is influenced by the all'antica style, which emerged in Italy in the first half of the 16th century. During the Renaissance, there was a renewed interest in classical antiquity, which had a significant impact on the development of plate armour. The steel crest is based on the stylised helmet crests of Roman legionaries, associating the wearer with this glorious past.

This fine burgonet is a replica of the many 17th-century cavalry helmets now found in museums. These helmets were worn by cavalrymen who at the time often charged the enemy armed with rapiers and wheellock pistols—or rode away very fast, if necessary. As a cavalryman, that is always an option! The burgonet features cheek guards with ear holes and has been constructed with neck and brow protection to guard against incoming projectiles.
