Chapel with bar grill and mail aventail - Louis

Chapel with bar grill and mail aventail “Louis” was one of the most popular medieval helmets through XIII-XVII centuries. This simple, comfortable and functional helmet successfully resisted both halberds and the first bullets. Details changed, but the essence - the metal dome with wide brim remained constant, which says a lot about this design reliability. And here is one of the great representatives of the chapel family – Louis, chapel with bar grill and mail aventail. This is stylization for Byzantine helmet with a brim. It comes from southeast Europe region (Byzantium, South Rus, the Balkans), where such medieval war helmets used at XIII-XV centuries.
