The "Suit of Armour for Lord Compton" is a notable example of Renaissance armor-making, featured in "An Elizabethan Armourer's Album" by Jacobe Halder, a master armorer at the Greenwich Armoury in London. This album, a folio containing designs of various armors, is a significant historical document that provides insight into the styles and craftsmanship of Elizabethan armor. The suit designed for Lord Compton would have been a bespoke creation, tailored to the nobleman's measurements and specifications, reflecting both the fashion and the martial requirements of the late 16th century.

The Greenwich Armoury, where Halder worked, was renowned for its high-quality armor, which was often commissioned by the English court and nobility. The designs in Halder's album showcase the intricate decoration and elaborate detailing characteristic of the period, including etching, gilding, and embossing. The suit for Lord Compton would have been no exception, likely featuring these luxurious embellishments alongside the practical aspects of protection and mobility necessary for both tournament and battlefield.

The album itself, preserved and studied by historians and armor enthusiasts, is a testament to the artistry and skill of Elizabethan armorers. It not only serves as a catalog of designs but also as a window into the cultural and social significance of armor in the lives of the Elizabethan elite. The "Suit of Armour for Lord Compton" stands as a prime example of the fusion of form and function, demonstrating the high level of craftsmanship achieved by Jacobe Halder and his contemporaries during this period.
