of us would like to think? I know for sure that there was a trend for a while to
paint helmets various colors...
It is important to remember that the medieval period we're talking about is a
500 or so year timeframe involving an area that stretches from Ireland to deep
into Eastern Europe and the Middle East. So there would have been a lot of
variation and experiments with everything from heraldry to weapons to castle
building (and decorating) techniques.
