nach oben / Zur Übersicht Möglicher Fund eines Spangenhelmfragmentes in Hastings
Ich zitiere der Einfachkeit halber von hier:
"I am doing archaeological work in the stream that goes past the site of the Battle of Hastings. We have been looking for armour and located some metal bands below the level of 13the century Saxon horse shoes in an anaerobic condition (black when excavated - turn brown within an hour).
I suspect that one of these bands is a very early Norman Helmet rim but can find no examples of such an authentic item despite there being references to them in old books. Spangenhelms are earlier and I cannot find any three hole Norman conical helmet images on the web. Does anyone know someone who owns an authentic 10th century Norman conical helmet as portrayed in the Bayeux Tapestry?
for details. I would also be interested to make contact with anyone able to examine the metal work to authenticate age as a first step.
regards
Nick Austin
