Product description
Starting in the mid-11th century, armorers began making nasal helmets like this one from a single piece. That made them sturdier, but also more expensive than the spangenhelm, which was built from multiple parts. These nasal helmets were universally conical until the early 12th century. This type remained in use across Europe through the end of the 12th century. In medieval manuscripts, you'll notice that nasal helmets like these always appear alongside a chainmail coif.
You can spot medieval helmets like this on the Bayeux Tapestry, and knights wore them throughout the Crusades. This design was hugely popular because it gave good visibility while the long nasal piece protected the nose and face.
