Description

Illustration of knights' helmets from the 13th century, from the book 'History of the Costume of Peoples Through the Centuries' by Paolo Lorenzini, Nerbini Publishing House, Florence, 1934. It is noted from the handwritten statutes of Ferrara from 1268 and a later one from the Republic of Modena that each soldier was required to have a cassettum, greaves and shin guards, iron gloves, an iron cap or helmet, a helm, lance, and shield, as well as a sword, spontoon, dagger, and a good horse saddle. The image shows a tournament helmet, a horned crest, a winged crest, a royal crest, and a chainmail cap. The king’s helm was gold, that of dukes and counts was silver, gentlemen's were steel, and others' were iron.
Illustrazione di elmi di cavalieri del XIII secolo dal libro "Storia del costume dei popoli attraverso i secoli" di Paolo Lorenzini, Casa Editrice Nerbini, Firenze, 1934. Si rileva dagli statuti ferraresi manoscritti del 1268 e in uno posteriore della Repubblica di Modena, che ciascun soldato era tenuto ad avere panciera o cassettum, gambiere e schinieri, guanti di ferro, cappellina o cappello di ferro, elmo, lancia e scudo, spada, spontone, coltello e buona sella da cavallo. Nell'immagine si vedono un elmo da torneo, un cimiero cornuto, un cimiero alato, un cimiero reale e un berretto a maglia. L'elmo dei re era d'oro, quello dei duchi e dei conti d'argento, quello dei gentiluomini di acciaio e di ferro quello degli altri.
