Horned Helmet of King Henry VIII - Mini Helmet 7cm

One of the most mysterious objects in the Royal Armouries’ collection is the ‘Horned Helmet’ affectionately referred to as Max.                                                                               

This bizarre headpiece was commissioned in 1511 by the Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I as a gift for the young King Henry VIII. The helmet would have been part of a full armour, worn by King Henry for court pageants.
