Why do I see in re-enactments they always have this exceptionally ornate and detailed helmet?
There was only one found and it was specially made for King Rædwald, it was a crown not a helmet.
Anglo Saxons where not wearing these.

I guess because it looks cool as fuck so everyone wants to wear one.

Because it looks cool and that's what 90% of reenactors care about.

The group you posted looks like Wulfhodenas. They're specifically portraying high status warriors.

Because it looked cool. Most of them probably just wore something like this. Maybe a spangen helm in the early 10th century.

There were some similar helmets discovered but less pieces and worse condition.

Explain.

>>3187507
Technically speaking, there were a lot of Saxons present in Britain while it was under Roman control. Lots of them had been settled in certain river estuaries with their families to act as cannon fodder against their cousins overseas.
>>
>>3182291
kind of like when those Chinese skeletons were discovered in roman London or the mixed race wealthy woman of African origin.
Rather than see them as exceptional and extraordinary finds normies presume they must have been the norm.

>>3187507
The Romans and Saxons coexisted before the western empire collapsed.The Romans employed them as mercenaries, just saying.
>>
>>3182291
because this is the only good loking helmet

They're actually not far off late Roman helmets but whatever. Different for sure but Anglo Saxon helmets were a subtype of the general helmets of the day.
