DescriptionThe Templar Knight Great Helm Helmet by Marto of Toledo Spain , also called Pot Helm, was the typical helmet used by the crusaders and by the Templars in particular for the whole duration of the Crusades.

However, the view capabilities were greatly reduced letting possible only the frontal view and for this reason this helm was used also by cavalry for charges or tourneys.
