Salad (helmet)

See also: Salad

A salad is a Casque of round form, carried 15th century at the 16th century. The word comes from low-Latin caelum , who means “sky”, “cupola”, and which gave old Italian celata , francized in salad . It is about an evolution of the “iron chapel” which took place during first half of the 15th century (not to be confused with the Barbute , sometimes called “Italian salad”, although it is primarily an alternative of the small basin).

The cupola of salad finishes on the back in a tail which allongeat with the wire of the century. Certain salads were equipped with a visor, and others a simple slit opening on before helmet. Another alternative left the face entirely without protection. There was a protection for the chin which could be carried with salad, but it was of rare use because it génait the breathing and the movements of the head. The salad was certainly the type of the most widespread helmet during the last part of the 15th century, and was of use at the riding as at the infantrymen. During the 16th century, it gave rise to the Bourguignotte.
