Cheval-
Well the way it was explained to me when I joined the SCA was that shortly after the death of Elizabeth, gunpowders' use on the battlefield became much more prevelant, which was the death-knell for the armoured knight.

If this is not so then so be it, its just the way it was explained to me.

Well I have always heard it said that we go up to the Death of Elizabeth which heralded the age chivalrous combat. Which is 1650 or so..
Not Exactly sure of the date.

Also to allow Early Cavalier for those that want to persue it as a persona.

No that is not a fox.

It is also an intricate part of her personal badge.
