Hello,
i want to reenact an swedish nobleman/ rider who lived in birka/ roslagen in the year 950 a.d. Now i have a big problem: I don't know what types of helmets were used by swedish cavalery/ nobles in the year 950. I'm surving the web since weeks but i found nothing.
You are my last chance. I hope somebody can help me.
Here is my question:
What types of helmets were used by swedish cavalary/ nobles in the year 950 in birka/ roslagen (eastern sweden)?
- spangen helmets or helmets like the ölmütz-helmet?
- helmets like the gjermundbur helmet from norway with a face mask/ eye protection (similar to the välsgarde helmet)?
- slavic rider helmets?
