At that time, a tie served not as an ornament, but as a protection for the throat from winds and cold. The tie received its role as an ornament around the 16th - 17th centuries. During the Thirty Years' War, King Louis XIV of France saw beautiful scarves on Croatian officers invited for negotiations.
