Mystery of Richard I Heart Relics Across Two Cathedrals
The Manchester Guardian recalls the quest for Richard Coeur de Lion may be linked to a heart relic found at Melrose Abbey while legends of Holl heart at Rouen and a sealed case mention a green talant envelope. Excavations in 19th century Rowen revealed a well preserved recumbent effigy with damaged features and a leaden case possibly robbed. The heart was moved to Rouen Museum of Antiquities and Richard’s other remains lie at Fontenay-abbey. Napoleon avoided returning relics, and Montandour vaults now draw visitors to medieval royal effigies.
