What are those "SH Fredric" and "Sempach" helmets? It's easy to find information on Stibbert-types, grand bascinets, and of course the classic beakies hounskulls, but not those. I assume they're not actually bascinets and are a different type of helmet (and even a different helmet culture) as a joke, but I still can't find anything.
I had to do some research while doing TLs, but I did have trouble with some things too.
Sempach was a site of Battle of Sempach, and given how armor classifications are named after sites in which they're first found, I'm guessing it was a type that was unearthed there.
As for SH Fredric (Fredrik?), I couldn't find anything on that.

Ah, take a look at those illustrations in the article. The bascinets in the first seem to be a more normal type (mixed in with other helmets; I think there are sallets in there too), but in the second they all do seem to match the rectangular face-masks in the Bascinet Party.

Oh shit, didn't notice that at all. Then maybe it could be one of those where "we saw them in a painting about this battle but we don't really have any evidence they existed".
The abbot probably just fried his brain or something, since those words may no be accurate to what he heard according to the madam it could be that he went insane just from the sheer info dump he suddenly took in all at once.
