High middle ages

The High Middle Ages refers to the second period of the Middle Ages from about 1050 to 1250. In this era, profound social developments took place, which can be described, among other things, with population growth, settlement densification and urbanization. This epoch was also characterized by the formation of a civil law. Last but not least, the High Middle Ages is known for its crusades.

The helmets of the High Middle Ages came in various forms, each of which fulfilled a function. In addition to simple helmets such as the brain cap , the iron hat and the pelvic cap, helmets such as the nasal helmet and the clasp helmet fulfilled the important task of head protection. Probably the most distinctive helmets of this period were the crusader helmets - mostly pot helmets, which encompassed the entire head and had only small slits for vision. Often these were decorated with cross-shaped ornaments.
