The only Viking Age helm found to date has been from Gjermundbu dated to 970AD (----). It is possible that the helm was already 100 years old when it has cremated (----) and it is not an unreasonable extrapolation that this helmet was a continuation of the Vendel / Valsgarde style of helms from the 8th century.<br>

A continuation from the Roman helmet. Cheek flaps can also be seen on the Lewis Chessmen dated to the C12th.<br>
