Defend Yourself, Good Knight
A.D. 1520

Defense
check out that visor It may look a little wild, but it's a really good helmet. It covers your whole head, so that nothing can harm you. You wouldn't be able to see very much through the thin eye slits, but if they were any wider an enemy could poke through them with his sword or arrow, and you wouldn't want that!
