ca. 1509 - 'Marienkrönungsfenster, Graf Philipp II von Virneburg and St. George' (design by the Meister von Sankt Severin), Cologne, Dom, Cologne, Germany

            The window with the Coronation of the Virgin was donated around 1509 by count Philipp II of Virneburg (ca. 1450-1522/1525), who is depicted together with his deceased wives Johanna van Horne and Walpurgis von Solms-Lich, and St. George.

Philipp wears smooth armour without flutings, which was highly common in German lands during the first two decades of the 16th century, just before the Maximilian style became more prevalent in some regions.
There could also be a Netherlandish influence regarding Cologne's proximity to the area.

Do note that some parts of the armour seem to be a product of the 19th century restoration: the large tassets of Philipp's armour are not attached to his fauld but are worn under it. Maybe a mistake, or simply a strange original?
St. George is shown in a contemporary armour (note the decorated breast with the red cross) with some fanciful details, e.g. the shoulders, rerebraces and the rather strangely decorated jerkin. The couters, gloves and sword also seem to be a result of those later restorations. 
In my humble opinion many parts of this window are honestly not that authentic anymore.
