The Norman "Nasal" Helmet was based on earlier Viking Helmet designs and could be worn over a chainmail coif or with chainmail aventail to protect the neck. The nasal bar was designed to protect the face but meant that Knights were often unrecognisable. The famous Bayeux Tapestry shows William the Conqueror tipping his helmet back to reveal his face and prove to his soldiers that he was still alive!
Our Norman Helmet with Aventail is constructed from polished 18 gauge steel and features a butted chainmail aventail, adjustable leather liner and chin strap. Not recommended for contact reenactment.
