Luttrell Psalter pic in AAOTMK, pg 67

Is that really depicting a visored greathelm? It looks more like a visored Sugarloaf to me.

(BTW, I did an Archive search for "Luttrell Psalter" and got nothing.)[/b]

A sugarloaf is a greathelm isn't it? Just a later version of it.

(on Pennsic) I know that movie. It is the 13th warrior. A bunch of guys in armour that doesn't match itself or anybody elses, go on a trip and argue and get drunk and get laid and then fight Tuchux.
