A bevor (from French meaning dribble) is a plate defence for the throat and lower face. It may or may not be articulated to increase airflow without removing the bevor.
It was commonly worn with a sallet by men at arms or nobles in the 15th century.
Some warriors would remove their bevor when fighting to allow them to breathe easily, but as a result became more exposed and paid for that exposure.
