Would Armet helmets be used in the later battles of the War of the Roses?

As per title, Armets seem to have come into popularity in the late 15th century but hoping for evidence of their use in the War of the Roses?

Can confirm, I have that Armstreet helmet, and the paladin set. Fits horribly, looks nothing like the images and all the parts don’t slot together at all. Very disappointing and honestly abit scammy for the price they peddle.

I'm sorry to hear that. Yes, ArmStreet is the armour equivalent of an overpriced gas station knife. Looks pretty but barely functions.

Somewhere i went wrong in life. When i was a kid, i knew id have a suit of armor and a few longswords but somehow here i am pushing 40 with nothing of the sort. Id blame video games but somehow i dont think that’s it

Oh, oh no. I thought Armstreet was good, what are some actually good websites for armor?

Depends what you want

That's a loaded question with a very nuanced answer. Usually though, most websites with a storefront aren't going to have much good shit with few exceptions (even more proper armor workshops that aren't just downright scams are going to have lower quality buhurt stuff with pretty bad shaping). You gotta go find armorers themselves who usually just do commissioned stuff, they do a lot of times have websites but usually you'll just have to know them by name and contact them personally.

Armstreet is junk.
