SUGARLOAF HELMET HISTORYThe great helm or heaume, also called pot helm, bucket helm and barrel helm, is a helmet of the High Middle Ages which arose in the late twelfth century in the context of the Crusades and remained in use until the fourteenth century. They were used by knights in most European armies between about 1220 to 1540 AD.In its simplest form, the great helm was a flat-topped cylinder of steel that completely covered the head and had only very small openings for the eyes and mouth. Later designs gained more of a curved design, particularly on the top, to deflect or lessen the impact of blows.
A later variant with a more conical top is known as a \'sugarloaf helm\'. In Spanish they are called yelmo de Zaragoza, referring to Zaragoza where they were introduced for the first time in the Iberian peninsula. Although the Sugarloaf offered vastly superior protection than previous helmets, such as the nasal helm and spangenhelm, it limited the wearer\'s peripheral vision, and in addition to being heavy, the helmet provided little ventilation and could quickly overheat in hot weather. Men-at-arms would often remove it after the first clash of lances, for greater vision and freedom of movement in melee combat.Modern reenactment versions of the Sugarloaf weigh 1.5 to 3kg. For safety reasons, they are made from thicker steel than medieval originals but are not overly heavy, cumbersome, or uncomfortable. Although visor slits are usually only some 20–30mm wide, they do not greatly restrict the field of vision as they are very close to the wearer\'s eyes.
