How's your Latin?
The inscription on the sarcophagus says:
ANGLORUM REGIS QUI COR LEONIS DICTUS OBIIT AN M C XC IX that is: "Here lies the heart of Richard, King of England, who was called 'Lion Hearted', died 1199". I don't know where the rest of him is, but he left his heart in Rouen. Rouen, by the way, is a small town. It is on the order of 7 or 8 square miles. This is probably smaller than any town you have ever lived in. Keep that in mind; I'll mention it again later. |
