Image description

The war-hat was one of the most popular and successful types of head protection worn on the battlefields of Europe throughout the Middle Ages and into the Renaissance. The concept was simple- just as a brimmed hat shielded the wearer's face from the sun and rain, so did the wide brim of the war-hat intercept the downward vertical paths of hand-weapon blows and flying projectiles.
