THE MEDIEVAL KNIGHT AND HIS ARMOUR
The close helmet was developed from the later versions of the sallet and the superficially similar armet in the late 15th century. The close helmet was used on the field of battle, but was also popular for use in tournaments. Wealthy men often owned "garnitures", which were armours with interchangeable parts to suit heavy or light field use, and the many different forms of tournament combat. Garnitures would usually include elements for reinforcing the left side of the helmet for use in jousting. Such reinforcing pieces were called "double pieces" or "pieces of advantage"
