Robert Chaumberleyn, Esquire to the King. Anno 1417. 'It is said he was present at the battle of Agincourt'. According to the text of the book, 'the design is interesting on account of offering one of the most complete specimens of a man at arms fully equipped for battle, belonging to this period of history in existence'. He wears a helmet with moveable visor; a gorget of mail and a flowered cloth surcoat. His spurs, belt and the pummels of his sword and dagger are of plain silver.
