Alouette, Quebec, Canada: Truehearth Armouries, 14th Century Hat | ||
Description: Classic Kettle Hat Source: Truehearth Armouries Specifications: cold or hot-rolled steel 16ga mild steel Posted: July 14, 2009 Notes: Kettle hats, although normally associated with the 13th century, made its first appearance in Europe during the 12th century. The kettle hat resembled medieval cauldrons or kettles, supported by scenes from the Maciejowski Bible (c 1250) showing them slung from the sides of carts in a similar way to cauldrons. Two forms of this helmet existed, one was shaped and made like an upturned bucket of hoop-and-stave construction, however, this style did not outlast the 13th century. The other consisted of a round bowl, with a wide brim, sometimes in a single piece, but more often assembled from a number of plates riveted together, similar to the earlier spangenhelm. It is this style that is employed for the helms used by AEMMA. Kettle hats or helms style were actually decommisioned from the British army shortly after WWI. |
