kettle hat

The kettle hat was common all over Medieval Europe.

Both these did have kettle hats.

A characteristic helmet of the foot soldier was the kettle hat - an iron hat with board brim.

Shishak and kettle hat helmets for lower rank (retainers) were often blackened as well was their armour.

A kettle hat is a type of helmet made of steel in the shape of a brimmed hat.

The morion's shape is derived from that of an older helmet, the Chapel de Fer, or "Kettle Hat."

It was replaced by similarly shaped helmets made with one-piece skulls (nasal helms), kettle hats and eventually the Great helm or casque.

Brodie's design resembled the medieval infantry kettle hat or chapel-de-fer, unlike the German Stahlhelm, which resembled the medieval sallet.

The German-style sallet was the model for the World War I German Stahlhelm, wheras the kettle hat inspired the contemporary British and French helmets.

By the 12th century, helmets and padded gambesons were very common, the Kettle hat type of helmet now being used alongside the earlier Nasal Helm and Spangenhelm types.

Some types of helmets worn by the Teutonic infantries resemble mock-ups of Stahlhelms from World War I in order to resemble German-style kettle hats.

When helmets reappeared in World War I, the kettle hat made its comeback as the British and U.S. Brodie helmet (often called tin hat), as well as the French Adrian helmet.

Many soldiers, including knights, disliked the restriction to sight and hearing imposed by the enclosed helmet, and therefore the more open round-topped and flat-topped nasal helmets, plus 'kettle hats', continued in use alongside it into the mid 13th century.
