This video from the Royal Armouries features Assistant Curator Keith Dowen discussing a historical helmet belonging to Holy Roman Emperor Charles V. Created in 1536, the helmet was part of the palm frond armour and was made to commemorate Charles' military victories in North Africa. The classical style of the helmet was intended to reinforce the Emperor's image as a successor to the Roman general Scipio Africanus. The video provides a link to the object's entry in the Royal Armouries collection and encourages viewers to subscribe, support the museum, and become members.
