Our expert's notes

A set of armour worn by Leondegrance (Patrick Stewart) in John Boorman’s fantasy adventure Excalibur. Leondegrance, Guinevere’s (Cheri Lunghi) father, wore the distinctive bright ‘silver’ armour after Arthur becomes king and established the round table. All of the armour components were hand-beaten by legendary armourer Terry English and polished to the high shine seen on film.
The set consists of chest and back plate, arms, gauntlets, thigh guards and leg and foot guards and chainmail skirt. Most of the components are labelled either “Leondegrance” or “LEON” in addition to other names of actors who wore the armour on subsequent productions. There is a distinctive double row of rivets with a raised line motif along the edges, and the set is held together with leather straps and metal buckles. There is a fair degree of wear to the armour, and the shine has tarnished with age, but the suit remains in otherwise good condition.

Stewart signed the armour in the left thigh guard: “For Terry, Patrick Stewart.” English’s signature “T” shield stamp can be found on the neck of the chest plate. A replacement lower body (leg armour) and chainmail set was made by Terry after production to complete the suit’s aesthetic. Dressed height: 180 cm (71”) tall
