I was watching the following video by a guy on YouTube who does interesting talks on armor, especially 14th century armor.

As he was speaking about kettle helmets in this video it caught my attention when he started speaking about knights also wearing them. They are usually depicted on non-noble medieval soldiers. He referenced a work about King Louis the IX (I think it was the 9th Louis) when he was on Crusade, and the knight writing the work mentioned he loaned King Louis his favorite campaign kettle helmet. It occurred to me I had seen another French knight in a kettle helmet:

Hmm... coincidence? Or research?
