Product Details
The main weakness of the standard Norman helmet was that most of the face as well of the sides of the head were exposed. Something that the Muslim Horse Archers exploited to deadly effect during the Crusades. This saw the development of a face plate that eventally evolved to wrap around the entire head to become the medieval Great Helm.
The Lord of Battles Norman Helmet with an iron face plate was an early adaptation of the standard Norman helmet to include a face plate that wraps around the front and side of the face to provide good frontal and side protection.
TThis helmet is made in 1.6mm mild steel and has a 68 cm internal circumference.
A leather liner is provided and this can be adjusted so the helmet can comfortably fit most head shapes.
A padded arming cap should be worn with this helmet and for additional protection a maille coif was commonly used.
Price includes GST and tracked postage within New Zealand.
