The Brocas helm is a jousting helm on display at the Rotunda as part of the Tower of London armoury collection. It was commissioned by an English knight from an Italian armourer. It is named after the Anglo-Norman Brocas family of Beaurepaire, Hampshire descending from the knight Sir Barnard Brocas (1330–1395). The collection of the family was auctioned after the death of a later Barnard Brocas, as the "Brocas Sale" in 1834.
From Encyclopedia Metallum
In 1984, the band signed with First Strike Records and Steamhammer (licensing deal through First Strike) for American and European distribution of their releases. After some disagreements (for example, the cover used for Into Battle was used without consent of the band), they mutually agreed to end the relationship, even though Brocas Helm still had an obligation for one album.
After a lot of shopping for a new label with little interest, they decided to create and release Black Death themselves. For five years they worked hard in their Caverns of Thunder basement-studio.
After that, Brocas Helm made a couple of (unreleased) demos, mostly to get a label deal so they could record a high quality CD release. While some labels did show interest during this time, an acceptable record deal remained elusive. Brocas Helm later released the Skullfucker single and decided to self-release their third full-length entitled Defender of the Crown.
