The armour/fashion is too late for the suggestions so far.

I suspect it's a certain Burgundian gobbing off  ;)

1. Richard III arming for Bosworth, shortly before ending up under that Lecicester car park?
2. Henry Tudor landing at Milford Haven (NB. I've already done that one :D)
3. Something Swiss.

Like Captain Blood, I'd go with Richard III before Bosworth given the helmet with the crown lower left.  Alternatively it could be Henry VII being given the crown that was found on the battlefield after Bosworth.
