Richard I, 'The Fearless', Duke of Normandy - Alternative Data After Merges

i have always believed Richard 1 was buried in Fontevraud Abbey in Anjou alongside Isabella of Angouleme ? am i wrong we visited there in 2013

According to the internet he was buried in Fontevaud Abbey in Anjou. At least we are talking about Richard the Lionhearted brother of King John

They also said his heart was in Rouen Cathedral, so they must have dissected him.

I think this was the one John was thinking of. I know when I google him that's the first one I came up with, Then I tried it with Fearless, Found him but it didn't say where he was buried. But it did mention Fecamp for birthplace

Oh my word - how do we show a dissected burial? :-/

Sharon , they said his heart was buried in one place and rest of him somewhere else. I venture a guess it didn't leave his body on it's own. Hence he was dissected, cut up. The Catholic church is good for doing that when canonizing people. I saw one on display at a church in Canada. I was appalled that they do that. Also many a person was drawn and quartered and piece send to the four corners of the kingdom. I don't know how you would show this other then in the about section but you can't say he was buried in one place. Hit the key that lets you write in all info on burial , that would solve it. I have had several that wouldn't let me put in the name of of a cemetery.That's what I had to do . Over ride it. We do want to be as accurate as we can.

I have no doubt bits of him were removed- just grinning to myself about the problem of simultaneous multiple burial sites :-)

It's true. Some people have been scattered all over the place. I think it was Henry 1 maybe Henry the 2nd of England that was buried and then dug up not once but twice years latter by angry mobs and only a femur is left of him. I will have to look that up to see which one,

Do you mean "which femur", Judy? Fie on you. Whether it is left or right can only matter if you are considering using it for a transplant. Here I was thinking that you were doing genealogy for pure motives, when in fact you had just worked out that someone who is just about everybody's great-grand-daddy will not have his remaining bits rejected because of genetic incompatibility. And how is the Geni burial-place going to deal with it if his left leg is wandering around New York and making frequent travels outside?

It didn't say right or left. And I wonder where Braveheart is buried. They drew and quartered him and hung him.They sent an arm one place a leg somewhere else. I think but don't quote me, but I think they hung his head off London Bridge. I know Black Bead they did that to.

OH , I SEE WHY YOU ASKED ME LEFT OR RIGHT. femur
, LEFT AS IN REMAINING.

Remi, thanks for that link. Fascinating story, historical significance beyond genealogy.

Unfortunately I don't believe the results will be available for us to match against, Like the DNA from saint Olaf the researchers will try to make money on doing the job like writing books and make and try to make academic career and not release the results for free.

Richard I, 'The Fearless', Duke of Normandy is my grandson Joshua's 28th great grandfather.
