Great great grand-daughter of Richard de Lucy, founder of Lesnes Abbey. All the references we have found call her Rose, rather than the unusual spelling on the plaque. Although she moved away when she married, she requested that her heart be buried at the abbey. It was discovered during excavations in 1939.
