    The spurs in this group can be identified and chronologically dated due to the multipoint rowels, which are typical of mid-late 15th century A.D. The rapid development of the armour in 15th century did not influence the trend for necks of rowel-spurs to considerably increase in length, a style which persisted well into the first half of 16th century A.D.
