Explore the Legacy of Medieval Helmets

From the early Norman conical helms to the sophisticated close and armet helmets of the late Middle Ages, medieval helmets evolved as the ultimate symbol of status and battlefield superiority. Helmets weren’t just armor—they were a statement of identity, rank, and region.

• Bascinets with visors
• Barbutes & Sallets
• Armet & Close Helmets
