Abstract
The paper discusses a tournament-helm from Lullingstone Church, Kent, which was identified as ‘English … of the first quarter of the sixteenth century’ by the late Sir James Mann in a paper read at a meeting of the Society, at which it was exhibited, on 22 October 1931. It was not then noticed that the helm is struck twice with the well-known mark of an armourer who was working for the Habsburg Court in Brussels in the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries. A possible identification of the owner of the mark is given together with a reassessment of a group of related helms from funerary achievements in this country once thought to be English.
