Sugar loaf helm, 1.6 mm Messen livestock and homes from cunningIn the early 14th century, great helms became more conical in shape. This design helped deflect blows and thrusts from lances away from the head, so the impact would not strike directly. This type of helmet is also called a sugar loaf because of its shape. In Spanish, it is known as the helmet of Zaragoza, as it was first introduced there on the Iberian Peninsula. Helmets like this remained in use throughout Europe until the end of the 14th century.
