An imperial plate of a painting in the National Gallery of Ireland just around the corner from the Library. An unusual one I imagine with a strange scene that clearly was not witnessed by the artist. Men in armour, long sharp spears, castles on the hill and dead and dying in the foreground. A time of great rejoicing it was not!

From the link above - "The subject of this monumental and meticulously detailed picture is the marriage at Waterford in 1170 of the Norman military adventurer Richard de Clare, known as Strongbow, and the daughter of Dermot McMurrough, King of Leinster. The union has often been identified as representing the formal establishment of a Norman foothold in Ireland. Conceived for the decoration of the Palace of Westminster, the painting is an ambiguous representation of the victorious Normans and the vanquished Irish. Strongbow places his foot upon a fallen Celtic cross, King Dermot looks on in alarm, and an elderly musician slumps on his harp."

According to Wikitree.com, Richard de Clare (Stongbow*) is my grandmother's half-sister's sister's husband's grandfather's sister's grandson's wife's 22x great grandfather (and probably yours, or something similar). aka Uncle Strongbow Edit: corrected
