About George Clifford, 3rd Earl of Cumberland
- Sir George Clifford, 3rd Earl of Cumberland, 13th Baron de Clifford, 13th Lord of Skipton, KG (8 August 1558 – 30 October 1605), was an English peer, naval commander, and courtier of Queen Elizabeth I of England.
- He was notable at court for his jousting, at the Accession Day Tilts, which were highlights of the year at court.
- Two famous survivals, his portrait miniature by Nicholas Hilliard (c.
- 1590, now National Maritime Museum) and a garniture of Greenwich armour (now at the Metropolitan Museum of Art), reflect this important part of his life.
- In contrast, he neglected his estates in the far north of England, and left a long succession dispute between his heirs.
