By the end of the 11th century, most Norman knights were still wearing the tried-and-true Nasal helmet. However, during the great Norman expansion, the Norman knightly elite came face-to-face with Mediterranean civilizations employing large numbers of archers in their armies.
The nasal helmet was a type of combat helmet characterised by the possession of a projecting bar covering the nose and thus protecting the centre of the face; it was of Western European origins and was used from the late 9th century to at least c. 1250 .
- Spangenhelm. These helmets were created between the fall of the Roman Empire and the Norman conquest’s start and were a popular medieval European combat helmet.
- Norman or Nasal Helmet. Nasal helmets, usually conical, had a projecting bar covering the nose and protecting the face’s center. The helm style slowly replaced the spangenhelms during the 9th century, and we can see them being worn by the Normans who fought at the Battle of Hastings under William the Conqueror.
- Kettle Helm. This 11th-century helmet, known as Kettle Hat or War Hat (created earlier but most popularised around that time) had wide metal brims and was made of iron or steel.
- Great Helm. The great helm covered the entire head and arose in the late twelfth century in the context of the Crusades. It remained in use until the fourteenth century.
In ancient Europe, the Viking and Norman helmets were the most favored pieces of armor. It was one of the most popular medieval helmets during that period due to its creation, build, and design. To note, these Norman helmets are of the Spangenhelm types.
Many of our Viking helms are remarkably simple and straightforward, almost like the warriors who favored them. Many Norse helmets in general, actually, replicate the traditional spangenhelm or the Norman helm, both of which were designed with protection first and appearance second.
