In 1534, at the age of 21 years, "Silken Thomas", of The Fitzgeralds Of Kildare, laid siege to Dublin Castle from this vicinity. The rebellion failed, and he was executed in London together with all of his uncles, by order of Henry VIII. The Fall of the House of Kildare was a major factor leading to the Tudor Conquest of Ireland, which shaped the country we know today. These wall panels, by Grace Weir, commemorate the Siege of 1534.
