historical
A large medieval helmet that covered the whole head and rested on the shoulders.
The heaume was the heavy, enclosed helmet of knights in the later Middle Ages, with narrow slits for sight and air. It was often worn over a lighter cap and sometimes crowned with a painted crest, so it appears constantly in heraldry and in tournament scenes. The spelling is French in origin and survives mainly in books about armor and in historical fiction.
