During The Middle Ages, A Lot Of Different Types Of Helmets Were Made, All Offering Another Level Of Protection And Were Worn During Battles And Warfare.Medieval Helmets Are Made Out Of Iron And Steel, Just Like The Rest Of The Armour. In The Middle Ages, They Were Made By An Armorer, Which Is A Blacksmith Who Specialized In Making Quality Armour. At Times Symbols Were Painted Or Crests Were Added On The Helmets For Identification Purposes. In The Early Middle Ages Open-Faced Helmets, Like The Spangenhelm, Were The Most Common. These Helmets Didn’t Protect The Facial Area All That Well. They Sometimes Had Nasal Protection. In The Late Middle Ages, The Face Was Completely Protected With Helmets Like The Great Helm, The Armet, And The Bascinet, At Least For Knights And Higher Class Men. The Head Was And Still Is One Of The Most Important Areas Of The Body To Protect, As Wounds On The Head And Skull Were Harder To Fix. When You’re Choosing A Helmet You Have To Compare The Advantages And Disadvantages, It’s A Choice You Have To Make. Sometimes It’s Better To Have A Completely Protected Face But Other Times It’s More Useful To Pick A Lighter Helmet In Which You Can Have More Movement. For Infantry, It’s Usually A Better Choice To Pick The Lighter Helmet, Whereas A Knight Or Horsemen Better Pick Full Protection.
