King Robert of Sicily

The marble statue by George Paulin in Glasgow’s Botanical Gardens.
It says the tale of King Robert comes from the poem by HW Longfellow. He was an arrogant king who was deposed by an angel, stripped of his robes, and forced to assume the role of a jester, with only a monkey for a friend - fascinating.
