This is the finest brass in the Abbey and is also now raised on a plinth adjoining Waldeby. The inscription is in French. Her husband Thomas of Woodstock was buried in St Edward’s chapel but his brass has completely disappeared. The last two years of her life were spent in a nunnery at Barking. She wears her widow’s dress and in the canopy above her head is the swan badge of the Bohun family. The remaining coats of arms show (from top left clockwise): France and England quarterly within a border, France and England impaling Bohun and the Constableship of England, Bohun impaling Fitzalan and Warenne (her mother’s family), the Constableship, and Bohun (a bend with six lions).
