Historical window: From Vikings to Normans

Nasal helmets, also known as ‘Norman helmets’, have a fascinating history. Their origins go back to the Vikings, who were using them as early as the 9th century. They gradually spread throughout Europe and became the standard head protection for knights and warriors. They remained popular until the 13th century, when they were replaced by more enclosed helmets.

The main advantage of the nasal helmet was the combination of good protection, excellent visibility and unobstructed breathing, which was crucial in combat.
