Fig. 1102. Armour of Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester, K.G. (1534-1588)
English (Greenwich school), third quarter of the XVIth century. Shown with its tilt pieces in position. The suit possesses its leg defences, but they are not represented in this illustration Tower of London, Class II, No. 81
There is a suit at Vienna made for Archduke Carl of Steiermark, which Herr Boeheim considered to be from Topf's hands, and since, as we have said, Topf and Jacobe were until recently considered one and the same person, we propose for purposes of comparison to illustrate this harness (Fig. 1154).
