датировка изображенного костюма была принята 1400?, так как в это время встречаются похожие костюмы (кираса с пластинчатым подолом, диски наруча) в Шотландии (P0554, 1411?), в Англии (P0576, 1403; P0544, 1412), похожие костюмы (с двойными дисками наруча, но со стеганой курткой) встречаются в Бретани (P0504, 1415?), кираса с пластинчатым подолом в Испании (P0361, 1400?), в Англии (P0532, 1393; P0494, 1401; P0576, 1403 - с дисками), в Уэльсе (P0552, 1388)

костюм, изображенный на памятнике в New Abbey, Kilcullen, Co.Kildare более ранний - пластины подола видны намного выше, чем на нашем памятнике, возможно, это полная бригандина
