Product Overview
The Helmet of Castile is a striking 13th-century great helm inspired by royal and knightly armor of medieval Europe.
Modeled directly from an English manuscript circa 1250, held by the British Library (Westminster Psalter), this helmet reflects the style associated with King Ferdinand III of Castile and similar helms worn across Europe during the High Middle Ages. Its bold shape and ornate detailing make it a historically significant and visually impressive piece.
Crafted from 18-gauge steel, the helm is accented with decorative brass and fitted with a soft, padded cloth liner featuring leather tie straps for a secure and adjustable fit. Made by Windlass Steelcrafts, it is well suited for reenactment, display, costuming, or serious collection.
