Product description

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

This helmet's shape draws indirectly from the Greenwich style, while its crest reflects the all'antica style that emerged in Italy during the first half of the 16th century. The Renaissance brought a renewed interest in classical antiquity, and that shift had a major impact on plate armor design. The steel crest takes its cues from the stylized helmet crests of Roman legionaries, connecting the wearer to that storied past.

This burgonet is a replica of the many 17th-century cavalry helmets you'll find in museums today. Cavalrymen of the era often charged the enemy armed with rapiers and wheellock pistols—or rode away fast when the situation called for it. As a cavalryman, that's always an option! The helmet comes with cheek guards featuring ear holes, plus neck and brow protection to deflect incoming projectiles.
