In my opinion the oldest of the Devonshire Hunting Tapestries (1420's) shows some figures which are among the closest in dress and character to the VM archer. That's why I think his type has to be seen as a "dandy hunter", some member of the court or other noble who put on their best clothes for some leisurely hunting. I'm not saying the VM figure is exactly that, but surely of the same general type.



Note that the tapestry was dated, by professionals, to the 1420's in part based on these specific clothes.
