Product description

Nasal helmets were used from the 9th to the 13th century. They take their name from the nasal bar, which provided protection for the face.

In the early 12th century, a type of nasal helmet with a rounded skull developed. From the mid-12th century, this type began to replace nasal helmets with a conical skull. Helmets like this remained popular at least until the second half of the 13th century. They are depicted in sources such as the Maciejowski Bible, worn by both infantry and cavalry. An early example of this type of helmet appears on the Great Seal of King Richard I of England (1189). In medieval manuscripts, nasal helmets like this are notably always shown in combination with a chainmail coif.

The helmet is based on various originals of Norman helmets. Constructed from 1.6 mm thick steel, it features a leather lining. The helmet fits heads with a maximum circumference of 63 cm.
