Swedish Vendel era spanning from about (550 AD - 793 AD)
The wealthy boat graves in Vendel has named the Vendel Period.
The helmets from Vendel (550 AD - 793 AD)
The 3 helmets in this video are dated to the 5-7th century. These helmets were found in ship burials in and near the Vendel churchyard northwest of Uppsala.
The graves were numbered in order of excavation.
Vendel 1 Helm
The grave this helm was found in had many artifacts, such as a sword hilt, scabbard fittings and bridle mounts. The animal and interlaced band ornamentation on the artifacts suggests that they were made in the 6-7th century.
It is possible that this helm shared the same basic sectional construction as the Valsgärde 6, but it is hard to tell since it was found in fragmentary condition.
Vendel 12 Helm
The grave this helm was found in seems to date from the 6-7th century.
Again, it is possible that this helm shared the same basic sectional construction as the Valsgärde 6, but it is hard to tell since it was found in fragmentary condition.
Vendel 14 Helm
The grave this helm was found in is thought to dated to the 5-6 th century.
The helm had the standard crested helm frame with shallow concavities on the brow band forming part of the eyeholes. The gaps were filled in with two plates, one sub-rectangular and one sub-triangular. However, the helm did not have the standard ocular. Instead the cheek piece had a double curved profile to the front edge -- the top curve extended out to almost meet the nasal forming eyeholes, the lower ends extended and curved out to meet under/across the chin. This provided very effective face protection. Hinged metal strips hung from the brow band to protect the back and sides of the neck.
