    Strongbow (Richard de Clare) — Norman warlord who helped the Irish king Diarmait Mac Murchada to reconquer Leinster in 1169–1170.

    Aoife (Aoibhéann) — daughter of Diarmait, married to Strongbow as a political alliance.

    Their marriage in 1170 is seen as the symbolic beginning of the Anglo‑Norman presence in Ireland.

    "The church" is Ireland's oldest cathedral, the "Most Holy Trinity"
    It is certainly not about "the Pope", but rather about the historic wedding of Strongbow and Aoife in 1170, a significant event in Irish history.

    The images of Strongbow and Aoife at the Most Holy Trinity Cathedral in Waterford refer to the 1170 marriage, a key moment that sealed Norman power in Ireland. The sculptures stand on the very spot where, according to tradition, that marriage took place, serving as a tangible reminder of the beginning of centuries of Norman influence.
