Domed helms are still depicted on some early C11th coins. Tweddle states that the use of the conical helmet probably continued into the C9th and C10th. [TWEDDLE 1992:p.1125]<br>

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>

Only the spectacle part has survived from the Tjele and Hogbro helms and these have been identified as similar in form to the Gjermundbu helm [TWEDDLE 1992:p.1126].<br>

== ... with check flaps ==

''Hinged metal plates that protect the side of the face''
