Battle of Alford The Battle of Alford was an engagement of the Wars of the Three Kingdoms , which took place near the village of Alford , Aberdeenshire , Scotland , on 2 July 1645 . The battlefield is included in the Inventory of Historic Battlefields in Scotland and protected by Historic Scotland under the Historic Environment ( Amendment ) Act 2011 . Having defeated Colonel Hurry at Auldearn , the Marquis of Montrose continued his raiding campaign in the Highlands . Fearing that Montrose intended to attack Aberdeen again , Major - General William Baillie led the Covenanter army to cut him off . The two armies were roughly equal in size at about 2 , 000 foot , although Baillie had 5 - 600 horse compared with Montrose ' s 250 - 300 , giving him a slight advantage . However , this advantage was negated by the effect of the presence of representatives of the Committee of Estates on his chain of command . This committee was the ruling body of the Covenanters , comprising the Earl of Argyll , the Earls of Crawford and Tullibardine , the Lords of Elcho , Burleigh , and Balcarres ( who had all been involved in recent defeats by Montrose ) , together with a number of Calvinist clergy . It had the power to overrule Bailie ' s orders . Montrose took up a position on a low hill overlooking the ford across the Don at Alford . Baillie did not want to risk crossing the ford , seeing that his troops would be vulnerable to attack before they could form up for battle , but the Committee , urged on by Baillie ' s cavalry commander , Balcarres , insisted on battle . Montrose waited until the Covenanting horse was across the river , and the infantry was crossing , before ordering a general attack . A fierce fight ensued around the ford between the Covenant cavalry under Balcarras and the Royalist Cavalry under Lord Gordon . Montrose committed his reserves , a force of Gordon infantry , and the Covenant forces broke . The difficulties presented by escaping across a ford meant that the rout was particularly vicious . Covenant losses were about 1 , 500 of their 2 , 000 infantry , although much of their cavalry , along with Baillie , Balcarres and the Committee escaped . The Royalists lost several hundred men , including Lord Gordon . Nevertheless , the battle of Alford was one of the few bright moments for the Royalist cause in the aftermath of Naseby , only two weeks earlier .
Coppergate Helmet The Coppergate Helmet ( also known as York Helmet ) is an 8th - century Anglo - Saxon helmet found in York . It is remarkably well preserved and is one of only four Anglo - Saxon helmets discovered to date . The partial remains of a fifth helmet were found in the Staffordshire Hoard . Construction . Like many other helmets of Germanic Western and Northern Europe in the Early Middle Ages the construction of Coppergate helmet is derivative of Late Roman helmet types . It has a rounded composite skull , the iron elements making up the skull are riveted together . Two deep cheek - pieces are attached to the skull by hinges . A mail curtain ( camail ) is attached to the lower rim of the helmet behind the cheek - pieces to defend the wearer ' s neck and an unusually large nose - guard ( nasal ) provided facial protection . The mail is remarkable in consisting of forge - welded links , rather than the far more common riveted links . It is richly decorated with brass ornamentation . On analysis , the helmet was found to be made of iron , with applied brass - work containing approximately 85 percent copper . Its basic construction is almost identical to another surviving Anglo - Saxon helmet , the Pioneer helmet . It is also very like the helmets depicted being worn by Anglo - Saxon Northumbrian cavalrymen on one of the Pictish Aberlemno Sculptured Stones , believed to depict the Battle of Dun Nechtain of 685 . Decoration . The helmet has two low crests of brass , one running from front to back the other from side to side , forming a cross shape when viewed from above . The brass banding within the crests bears a Latin inscription : An alternative interpretation suggests the following translation : Oshere is a male Anglian name and XPI are the first three letters of the word Christos ( " khristos " ) in Greek . The brass crest terminates in a decorative animal head at the base of the nasal . The brass eyebrow decorations which flank the nasal also terminate in animal heads . The decoration of the nasal itself consists of two intertwined beasts , whose bodies and limbs degenerate into interlace ornament . Discovery and conservation . The helmet had been hidden in a well found near what is now the JORVIK Viking Centre , and was damaged as it was uncovered by a mechanical digger in 1982 . It is now in the Yorkshire Museum .
