More info. about the video
Elizabeth I died in 1603 and the body of the queen has always been interred in Westminster Abbey, even if not in its current location. Instead the initial burial of Queen Elizabeth was just a stop-gap measure until she was moved to the tomb of her sister, Mary I (died 1558) in 1606. This was done on the orders of King James I of England/James VI of Scotland. He also had an impressive and expensive tomb monument erected over the double grave, though when you look at it you might be forgiven for thinking, ‘but where is Mary I buried’, as it makes so little mention of her and the effigy shows only the last Tudor Queen. The tomb was opened in the 19th century during a search for King James’s own remains and a description of the coffins of the two queens has been left to us. I can guarantee you that Queen Mary would be appalled at the way in which they have been placed in the vault, but you’ll have to watch the video to find out why. So sit back and enjoy this study of the tomb of Elizabeth I and Mary I and the monument over it.
