There is some question about the date of the engraving. Kent, p. 94, dates it c1400. Norris, I, 56, says c1410 or later. He points out (II, 301, n. 14) that the style of the armor is consistent with an earlier date, but its details are of a later style. He finds
this true, too, of the presentation of the effigy of Lady Burton, and would date the engraving as late as c1420. Emmerson, p. 73, would also date it c1420. He writes that the sabatons and the small-headed lion are clues to this later date and believes that the armor is deliberately cut of date. Cf. Emmerson, p. 52.
