The subject, Sir Roger de Trumpington (d. 1289) is buried at St. Mary and St. Michael Churchard, Trumpington City, Cambridge, England. Of particular note is the shield, bearing trumpets to indicate his surname. His feet rest on a dog, which may represent loyalty. The cross-legged position found on the earliest brasses and in three-dimensional recumbent statues may allude to a knight's participation in a crusade, since the Knights Templar were often represented in effigies with their legs crossed in honor of the cross. Rubbing made with gold paper and black wax. One of the more common rubbings, it was purchased by the donor in Peterborough, England, 1969. For a full biography based on Mark R.
