The Legacy of the Sugarloaf Helm

The sugarloaf style of helm rose to prominence in the late 13th century, bridging the gap between earlier flat-topped great helms and the more advanced bascinet that followed in the 14th century. Its tall, conical profile was not just for looks—it was engineered to deflect sword strikes and weapon blows in battle. This particular style is closely associated with the crusading orders, including the Knights Templar, whose red cross became one of the most feared and respected symbols of the medieval age.
