    Description – 
    The Norman Nasal Helmet was used by the army men of William the Conqueror during the Battle of Hastings in 1066 against England. The Normans were descendants of Vikings who settled in the North of France. They were fierce warriors and great archers, mounted on horses. The shape of the helmet was intentionally designed to provide a clear and panoramic view of the battlefield. The warriors wore these helmets on a woolen or felt cap to provide comfortable padding on the head. The shape of the skull, ridged in the center, provided adequate protection against the blows of arrows and maces. The helmets were practical but provided less protection against attacks. The charm of this helmet faded when other provinces of Europe began developing closed helmets for better protection.

    Description – 
    The Sugarloaf Great Helm was primarily designed for better fitting and stability of the piece over the head of the knight during battle. On one hand, this model helped reduce the intensity of blows on the head of the warrior but the sides became more vulnerable due to its fitting shape. The model follows the fundamental design elements of a great helm in terms of features. These helmets were generally worn with a mail coif or padding underneath for comfort and stability.
