Artists Niels van Swaemen and Kaspar van Leek of Studio Gifting at work on a mural of Lady Roesia de Verdun for this year's SEEK Urban Art Festival in
Dundalk.
The Norman noble woman was the only woman in Ireland to have overseen the building of a castle.
She allegedly promised her hand in marriage to the architect who designed it and subsequently threw him out a window when it was finished.
She later set up the Augustinian Priory of Grace Dieu in Belton in Leicestershire, where she lived out her days.
