Notes: 

Patrick Shee and Maria Pembroke cartouche panel c.1646 Rectangular cartouche panel bearing an heraldic shield of Shee impaling Pembroke (Crotty 1978). The shield has a convex surface. The motto VINCIT VERITAS (Truth Conquers) appears on a scroll beneath the shield. The initials P.S. and M.P. are in false-relief on either side of the scroll. At the base of the panel is an incised inscription in Roman running hand which is now illegible but was transcribed by Carrigan (1905 iii, 101): [DOM] Patricius Shee, Gasparis filius, generalis vice-comitis munere in civitate Kilkeniensi bis laudabiliter perfunctus, vir omnibus charus, numerosae & optimae prolis
