For centuries nasal helmet has been THE most popular helmet in most parts of Europe because of its versatility and good balance between protection and mobility. For example, it proved ubiquitous on the Bayeux tapestry representing the invasion of Saxon England by the Norman knights and footmen of William the conqueror. Speaking of whom, one specific incident at the Battle of Hastings, illustrated on the Bayeux tapestry, reveals how William the Conqueror had to lift his nasal helmet to show his troops that he was still alive after the rumour of his death had spread in his army.
