<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lehmansterms, post: 2607179, member: 80804&quot;]There was a specific tactical advantage to that Norman hair style. In battle, it amounted to one less way the enemy could put you in a perilous situation if he was unable to grab your hair, then slit your throat. It was one fewer thing to worry about for the Norman warrior.&nbsp; It was also an outward symbol of one&#039;s warrior status. Whether or not one actually was a warrior, the hairstyle gave the impression that someone was - not unlike the popularity of &quot;virtual baldness&quot; adopted by those emulating the current &quot;hairstyle&quot; fashion of the military.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
