Encyclopedia Britannica



BURGONET, or BURGANET (from Fr. bourguignote, Burgundian helmet)

This article appears in Volume V04, Page 818 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BUN-CAL
BURGONET, or BURGANET (from Fr. bourguignote, Burgundian helmet) , a form of light
helmet
  or head-piece, which was in vogue in the 16th and 17th centuries. In its normal form the
burgonet
  was a large roomy cap with a brim shading the eyes, cheek-pieces or flaps, a comb, and a guard for the back of the neck. In many cases a vizor, or other face
protection
 , and a chin-piece are found in addition, so that this piece of
armour
  is sometimes mistaken for an armet (q.v.), but it can always be distinguished by the projecting brim in front. The
morion
  and cabasset have no face, cheek or neck
protection
 . The typical head-piece of the 17th-
century
  soldier in England and elsewhere is a
burgonet
  skull-cap with a straight brim, neck-guard and often, in addition, a fixed vizor of three thin
iron
  bars which are screwed into, and hang down from, the brim in front of the eyes.
