Rohirhelm

Helmets of the Mark: Various designs derived from Dúnadan exemplars

The Rohirrim wore high helmets with cheek guard and often white horsetail crest,though round caps of iron and leather and crestless variants also were common.

Speculations[]

Tolkien´s description of Éomer´s Helmet may have been inspired by an ostrogothic Spangenhelm, or it may be derived from the elven Crested helm via númenórian High-helmet types.

Movie Trilogy[]

The Rohirrim Helmets of the Movie Trilogy are a combination of the Spangenhelm, Viking Helm and anglo-saxon helmets.
