A '''gorget''' is a plate neck protection that covers the top of the spine, the whole of the neck and hollow of the throat.<br />
<br />
There is some indication that many say gorgets sat under [[breastplate]]s to take spread the weight of the shoulder pieces of a back and breast and they continued to be worn even after other pieces of [[armour]] were abandoned. eg in the mid [[17th century]]. <br />
<br />
Even much later many armies still had them in symbolic forms for officers. <br />
<br />
In the [[15th century]] a [[maille|mail]] [[standard]] or standart forms a similar function.<br />
<br />
==Gorgets in the SCA==<br />
In the [[SCA]], it is normally a required part of [[armour]] for any [[combat]] and are typically made of [[leather]].<br />
