Knights in the 'Guthlac Roll', England, c.1200 (http://www.warfare2.netai.net/12/Harley_Roll_Y6_Roundel_1-2.htm)
"The unusual armour given to the warriors might be an artist's attempt to indicate early Anglo-Saxon origins. The closest parallels to the helmets are found on two of the Scottish or Scandinavian Lewis chessmen (http://www.warfare2.netai.net/12/Lewis_Chessmen-warders.htm)."
