More about this scene
The famous Strongbow Monument. It commemorates Richard de Clare, Earl of Pembroke, who initiated the building of the cathedral and died in 1176. It is probable that the curious half figure is the original tomb effigy. The full-length figure (which bears the arms of FitzOsbert of Drogheda) is probably a replacement procured by the Lord Deputy, Sir Henry Sidney, when the original effigy was broken when the south nave wall collapsed in 1569.
