The Normans spread to England, Sicily and parts of Italy as mounted warriors, known for their long mail hauberks, kite shields and conical helmets.

This type of slightly curving, forward peaked helmet is the second most recognized form. The conical shape allows blows to slide off while the face was provided with some protection from the nasal piece which still allowed great vision.

Made of carbon steel with an aged and pitted finish. Includes an adjustable leather liner.

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.

The Kettle Hat was favoured by the English infantryman and man at arms throughout the medieval period and was popular during the 100 Years War. It was simple to manufacture and offered good protection against projectiles. This design was so effective that it came back into service with the British military in World War 1 and 2. The name derives from the Germanic word “cetel” or “cietel” alluding to its deep cauldron like shape. It was also known as a “war hat” and “Chapel-de-fer” (hat of iron).

Our Kettle Hat is constructed from 18 gauge steel and features and adjustable leather liner and chin strap. Not recommended for contact re-enactment but great for LARP, theatre or as a display piece.
