Gift Medieval Skull Cap, Combat Helmet, 2 mm Steel
Skull cap, medieval helmet, 2 mm steel
– Suitable for stage combat –
The skull cap, also known as a cervelliere, appeared in the High Middle Ages (late 12th/early 13th century) and was used throughout the Late Middle Ages and well into the Renaissance. This medieval helmet, which was essentially a simple, close-fitting skull cap made of iron or steel, could be worn alone but was usually combined with a chainmail hood or coif. Towards the end of the 13th century, it was common practice to wear a skull cap under a great helm on the battlefield or during tournaments. Since the latter was often removed in close-quarters combat because it hindered vision and breathing, the skull cap still offered some head protection while providing the best possible field of vision.
Although the skull cap eventually evolved into the so-called bascinet, it never completely disappeared and remained in use throughout the Middle Ages. In the early modern period, the final variant of this helmet type was mainly worn by nobles and men-at-arms, who hid it under a fashionable feathered beret or a wide-brimmed leather or felt hat, thus combining style and protection. However, due to the large number of surviving iron caps from this era, experts tend to assume that they were occasionally issued to simple infantrymen.
This reconstruction of a visorless High Middle Ages skull cap, as worn in the 13th century, is made of 2 mm steel. The inside of this combat helmet is blackened for better corrosion protection and has an adjustable, riveted leather liner. The sturdy, adjustable leather chin strap is equipped with an antiqued brass buckle.
This wearable helmet is suitable for combat, reenactment, LARP, stage, or TV/film. It is best suited for High and Late Middle Ages settings and is ideal for completing a European warrior's armor. Of course, the medieval helmet is also an excellent addition to every helmet collector's treasure trove.
