Armadura adaptável de George Clifford, terceiro conde de Cumberland

Made under the direction of Jacob Halder British

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 371

A armadura Cumberland, a mais bem preservada e mais completa armadura adaptável das Oficinas Reais de Greenwich, marca o apogeu técnico e decorativo dessa escola. Desenhada para ser utilizada tanto no campo de batalha como em torneios, foi feita sob a direção do mestre armeiro Jacob Halder. Ela inclui a armadura do cavaleiro (que pesa 27,2 kg), com vários elementos intercambiáveis e de reforço, e a armadura do cavalo, consistindo de uma testeira ( proteção da cabeça) e duas flanqueiras. George Clifford era um favorito da rainha Elizabeth I que foi nomeado Campeão da Rainha em 1590. A decoração desta armadura inclui a rosa Tudor, a flor-de-lis e o monograma de Isabel (dois ‘E’ contrapostos).
