Definition Of:

Chamfron

Knighthood & Chivalry DictionaryKnighthood & Chivalry Dictionary
The plate defense guarding the horse's face. 14th century examples seem to be very rare, with little refinement, using globular pierced defenses for the eyes. The chamfron became well developed in the 15th century, when the horse was more fully armoured in plate. The Crinet , another portion of horse barding , defended the horse's neck.
