In the olden days, a knight would sometimes throw his mantle over his helmet as a protection against the heat of the sun. In heraldry (coats of arms), the combination of mantle and helmet does occur, but you will never see a helmet actually covered with a mantle. Today it is mostly to be seen as a backdrop of a coat of arms. Look at the picture above to see an example. The occurrence of a mantle in itself has no fixed meaning, but many - like the one above - show ermine fur on the inside and that always means that it is the coat of arms of a royal person or of a kingdom.
