| Reaney & Wilson and
Bardsley (see below) do not agree on the meaning of this byname.
It is entirely possible that this byname could have both meanings; it could refer to someone
who made plate armor as well as someone else who made metal plates (dishes). "'A maker of plate armour', ME plate, OE smið" (Reaney & Wilson, p. 354 s.n. Platesmith) "Occup. 'the platesmith, one who hammered metal into plates, flat dishes, &c." (Bardsley, p. 610 s.n. Platesmith) | |||||
