Renaissance Helmets
The final flowering of the middle ages and the beginning of the Renaissance occurred sometime from 1485 to 1500. The final form of the medieval helmet was the armet which developed into the Renaissance Close helmet. These helmets became known as the typical Knights Helmet. During the Renaissance, weapons advanced more rapidly and as the sword became obsolete, visors faded away for better vision, such as the Comb Morion helmet and open faced Burgonet Helmets. The renaissance did see some of the most impressive helmet designs. We offer functional, wearable and many fully custom designed 16th Century and Renaissance Helmets. Close Helms, Burgonets, Comb Morions, Knight’s Helmets, Pikemen’s Pots, Lobster Tailed Helmets and more!
