George Clifford, 3rd Earl of Cumberland,1558-1605
Minature portrait painted by Nicholas Hilliard c. 1590
The armour was undoubtedly made for Clifford in Henry VIII's armoury at Greenwich Palace, and the miniature is generally thought to commemorate his assumption in 1590 of the role of Queen Elizabeth's champion (in succession to Sir Henry Lee) and his first appearance as such in that year's Accession Day tilts at Whitehall (17 November). As her new champion he was also their organizer and he appeared both then and in later years in the guise of 'Knight of Pendragon Castle' . Her glove, with a crown visible on the embroidered fingers, is pinned to his plumed bonnet by a rose jewel with a pendant pearl.
