TEXT ON PICTURE:

CHAPEL-IZOD. THE CHAPEL OF ISOUD - Chapel-Izod on the Liffey, outside Dublin, and Isolde's (or Izod's) Tower, near Grattan Bridge, are both named from La Beale Isoud of "The Morte d'Arthur". Malory tells how Sir Tristram of Lyonesse came to Ireland to be healed of wounds received in Cronwell, and became the guest of King Auguish at his castle, where he was nursed by the Queen and her daughter the beautiful Isoud, and there it was that Sir Tristram taught Isoud to play upon his harp. Some scholars hold that Isoud was a real person, the daughter of a Scandinavian king, who ruled in Dublin in the 9th century.
