9th Lord of Clinton, 1st Earl of Lincoln
It is said that he was laid to rest in the east end of the south isle in the chapel of St. George in Windsor,and a sumptuous monument is erected to his memory, of alabaster, with pillars of porphyry.
He lies in armour, with his Lady by him, in full proportion, their heads on a pillow, and their hands uplifted as praying ; on one side three sons, in armour, kneeling, and on the other five daughters in the same attitude.
On the basis, round the sides, is this inscription:

Nobilissimo Domino Edward Finio,
LincolniÆ Comiti, ClintoniÆ et SaiÆ Baroni, inclyti Ordinis Periscelidis Militi, et summo Anglios Admirallo, cum, post praeclaram operam, quatuor, continua serie, illustrissimis principibus, Henrico, Edwardo, Marice, et Elizabethae, tam consilio, quam armis, et domi, et foris, terra marique fideliter navatam, placide fato functus esset; Charissimo Marito, amantissima conjux Elizabetha, Comitis Kildariensis filia, piae perpetuceque memoriae ergo moerens posuit: Obit 16 die Januarii, 1584.
