 may have belonged to this Cumberland suit. In the Londesborough Sale Catalogue (Lot 462) it was stated that they were purchased at Lord Pembroke's sale in 1851; but on referring to the catalogue of that sale we can find no record of them. They are now in the collection presented by Mr. W. Riggs to the Metropolitan Museum of New York (Fig. 1133).

The Cumberland harness at Appleby Castle comprises the following pieces: a close helmet, a gorget, a breast- and backplate, the taces and tassets, and the complete leg defences inclusive of sollerets. It is interesting to note that the jambs, unlike nearly all those made by this armourer, are not laminated above the ankle, but are of one piece. The pieces for the tilt are an additional close helmet (Fig. 1135a), a grand guard (Fig. 1135b), a reinforcing piece for the left elbow (Fig. 1135c), four vamplates for the lance (Figs. 1135d and 1136e), and a reinforcing mezeil for the helmet (Fig. 1135e). The horse armour of the suit is the most complete in the series, consisting of two sets of bow saddle steels (Fig. 1136a), one set of cantle saddle steels (Fig. 1132c),
