There has been some debate as to whether surcotes displayingheraldry were actually worn by women or whether they are an artistic convention that allowed the artist to identify the wearer. One of the most often cited examples is the portrait of Sir Geoffrey Luttrell with the ladies of his family, both of whom wear heraldic surcotes.

From the Luttrell Psalter, Sir Geoffrey Luttrell and his ladies.
