>the Dowager Queen of France and Sovereign  Duchess  Anne de Bretagne, depicted 
>in all her wedding splendour, with St. Anne shewn standing behind her. The piece 
>is putatively dated to 1499, the occasion of that Royal Marriage - which is the 
>latest-dated picture [intended for living recipients who would have expected the 
>details shewn therein to be correct] of a sideless surcoat I have ever noted.
>  I would add that - whatever other particular conysaunce Gentles of the 
>Populace may ascribe to me - I be no expert in the knowledge of period garb - so 
>some of you may know of even later depictions of the sideless surcoat.
