This article appears in Volume V18, Page 837 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MOL-MOS
MORION (the French form of a word occurring in Spanish as morrion, Ital. morione, usually connected with the Span. morra, top or crown of the head) , a light round-shaped head-piece or
helmet
  (q.v.). The
chief
  characteristics are a brim, an upright comb running along the crown from back to front, and the
absence
  of
guards
  for the face, ears or neck. The brim was bent sharply upwards at the front and back, and the piece was generally worn tilted backward so as to cover the neck. The
morion
  and the cabasset, a pear-shaped headpiece with a flatter brim and no comb, were the typical infantry helmets of the 16th and early 17th centuries. It was sometimes worn unaccom-
panied by any
body
 
armour
 .
