136 Reverse of the First Seal of King Richard I, England, 1189-99
(British Library, Dept. of Seals, London, England)
By the late 12th century the sword clearly tapers, and has very long quillons and a diamond-shaped pommel.
The helmet seems taller and may have been round rather than conical. The mail hauberk also includes mittens.
